"Utilities" and Appendix A to Chapter 110 establish the City's potable water rates for all
water users and the sanitary sewer rates for all sanitary sewer users except sewer rates
for wholesale customers established through contract; and
WHEREAS, the City's utility rates for water and sanitary sewer services are
structured to collect the necessary revenues to meet annual operating and maintenance
costs of the water and sanitary sewer infrastructure, to cover debt service for water and
sewer bonds, to fund capital improvements to the City's utility system infrastructure,
maintain adequate operating fund and capital reserves, and to pay Miami-Dade County
Water and Sewer Department (WASD) for wholesale water purchased and for the
treatment of the collected City sewage; and
WHEREAS, the City and its consulting engineers recently completed master
plans for the water and sewer systems that identified critical capital projects to be
completed over the next several years; and
WHEREAS, WASD has historically raised the rates for wholesale water and
sanitary sewer to recover its cost of providing service and it is anticipated by WASD that
it will continue to raise the rates for service due operating expenditures and debt service
increases and the need to fund future capital improvements; and
WHEREAS, through a formal procurement process, the City retained the firm of
GovRates, Inc. (GovRates) to assist in the determination of revised water and sanitary
sewer rates in order to meet the projected expenditure and funding needs of the City's
utility system over the next ten years; and
WHEREAS, GovRates has recommended revised rates to recover the cost of
service and promote the overall sustainability of the utility system; provide the ability to
adjust rates due to changes in the cost of wholesale water and wastewater service as
provided by WASD; and provide the ability to index the rates for inflation and other
expenses to provide utility operating margins to fund capital improvements and the
repayment of debt issued by the City in support of the funding of capital improvements;
and
WHEREAS, the financial and rate plan proposed by GovRates recognizes the
refunding the City's outstanding Series 2010 Bonds and the issuance of additional bonds
in a few years; and
WHEREAS, the City adopted Resolution No. 95-21585, as amended and
supplemented from time to time, which authorized the issuance of utility revenue bonds
to finance capital improvements to the utility system (hereinafter the "System") which
included a requirement that the revenues of the System shall at all times meet the rate
covenant requirements as delineated in such resolution for the protection of the
bondholders; and
WHEREAS, when the City issues new debt to finance critical capital needs, bond
rating agencies expect that all rates needed to pay the debt have already been adopted;
and
WHEREAS, in order to properly fund the City's water and sewer program,the City
seeks to amend Chapter 110 and Appendix A to codify the GovRates recommendations;
and
WHEREAS, the GovRates recommendations recognize the need to increase
combined water and sewer user rate revenues by 2.4%, 2.3%, 2.3%, 2.3%, and 2.3%
for the fiscal years 2021, 2022, 2023, 2024, and 2025 respectively, as well as to pass-
through future WASD wholesale water and sewer rate increases beyond Fiscal Year
2021; and
WHEREAS, as part of the rate design to recover the necessary revenue for each
fiscal year, GovRates recommends improving the utility's revenue stability by gradually
increasing the monthly water and sewer base charges over time to bring them in line
with industry standards; and
2
WHEREAS, at the October 23, 2020 meeting, the Finance and Economic
Resiliency Committee recommended approval of the GovRates recommendations; and
WHEREAS, at the November 18, 2020 meeting, the City Commission members
had the title of the Ordinance read for the record, and adopted the Ordinance on First
Reading with the following direction:
• Administration to come back with actual dollars
• Ensure they use all available funds deemed appropriate and determine the
proper rate increase
• John Woodruff to prepare a chart on stormwater by Second Reading.
• Commissioner Richardson to work with Administration
WHEREAS, at the December 9, 2020 meeting, Public Works presented three
options for the City Commission's consideration (including detailed charts and tables),
each of which is more fully set forth in the Commission Memorandum accompanying this
Ordinance. Specifically, Option 1 eliminated any increase for 2021; Option 2 eliminated
any increase for 2021 and limits the increase for 2022 to 1%; and Option 3 eliminated
any increase for years 2021 & 2022. Each option provided the total revenue increase
needed over the remaining 5-year term of the plan; and
WHEREAS, the City Commission determined it would be in the best interests of
the City to phase in the required rate increase over time, and in a manner that would
avoid economic impacts to rate payers in 2021, in view of the significant financial
hardship associated with the COVID-19 pandemic; and
WHEREAS, the City Commission, following substantial discussion, approved the
one-time increase of water and sewer user rate revenues, set forth as Option 2 in the
Commission Memorandum accompanying this Ordinance, with the total increase
(inclusive of CPI increases otherwise permitted under the existing ordinance), to be
phased in from 2021 through 2025, as follows: 0% in 2021; 1% in 2022; 3.6% in 2023;
3.6% in 2024; and 3.7% in 2025; and
WHEREAS, the amendments set forth below are necessary to accomplish the
above objectives.

consumers to pay the same monthly amount for water and sewer consumption
based on the average of the previous annual consumption history. If the variance
in actual consumption becomes more than 50 percent of the annual consumption
average, the budgeted amount would be recalculated or the budget billing would
cease and regular billing would commence. To be eligible to use this "budget
billing" feature, the owner and/or consumer would have to submit an application
to the finance department for budget billing. After the approval of the finance
department, the budget billing would commence and would only cease upon
written request by the owner or consumer or the failure to pay the budget amount

monthly water service charges identified in this section regarding service to
customers delineated under the general service designation.
(g) Upon the application of the owner or consumer for water service on the premises to
which there has not been made any previous service for water, the tapping charges
as specified in appendix A shall be made to cover the cost of the tap and the
installation of the service to the property line of the lot to be supplied with water
service.
(h) Every owner or consumer making an application for water service shall be required
to make a deposit with the public works department called a guarantee of payment
deposit. The amount of such deposit shall be according to the size of the service, as
specified in appendix A. If the owner or consumer making such deposit wishes the
service to be discontinued, the guarantee of payment deposit shall be refunded less
outstanding charges for water, sewer, stormwater or garbage and waste. If at any
time the total service charges for a given account exceed the amount of the deposit,
9
the city reserves the right to demand an additional deposit up to four times the amount
of any previous monthly bill on that service.
(i) A request by the owner or consumer to have the water meter re-read for validation of
the correctness of a meter reading will result in a fee in accordance with the schedule
set forth in appendix A. This fee will be charged only if the re-read validates the
accuracy of the reading in question.
(j) A request by the owner or consumer to have a special water meter read at a time
other than a normally scheduled read date as set by the utility will result in a fee in
accordance with the schedule set forth in appendix A.

purchased wastewater treatment and disposal services as billed by WASD.
The monthly sewer user rates charged for service shall be in accordance with the
consumer applicability provisions and the corresponding schedule set in Appendix A as
may be adjusted from time to time based on the provisions of the section and in Appendix
A.
The billed sewer consumption shall be based on the metered water delivered to the
consumer for which the monthly water user rates apply. The provisions of this section
shall not be applicable to any water sold and delivered through separate meters

[C] = Pass-Through of Purchased Wholesale Water Charges and Rate Indexing.
Pass-Through of Purchased Wholesale Water Charges. The Purchased Water
Pass-Through Rate, which is applied to all water consumers being billed for potable
water service, shall be increased or decreased by the city by applying a pass-
through adjustment factor for any change in the average annual rates charged to the
city for wholesale potable water purchased from the Miami-Dade Water and Sewer
Department ("WASD") to the Purchased Water Pass-Through Rate charged by the
city (the "Purchased Water Pass-Through Adjustment").
(1) Adjustment schedule. The implementation of the adjustment to the Purchased
Water Pass-Through Rate for any month that a change in wholesale potable
water rates by WASD is effectuated ("Water Cost Recovery") shall occur
without a public hearing. Water Cost Recovery shall be employed each time
that WASD adjusts the average annual wholesale potable water rates that are
billed to the city. Any adjustment to the Purchased Water Pass-Through Rate
based on the determination of the change in wholesale rates shall be
implemented in the month immediately following the determination of the
Purchased Water Pass-Through Adjustment. The Purchased Water Pass-
Through Rate as shown sin Appendix A and as may be further adjusted
automatically in the future by the implementation of the provisions of this
section and which are then in effect shall be increased or decreased by the city
by applying a Purchased Water Pass-Through Adjustment established in
accordance with this subsection to the then effective Purchased Water Pass-
Through Rate prior to such application. Nothing herein shall preclude the city
from making additional changes to the monthly water user rates for service.
(2) Applicability of Purchased Water Rates. The Purchased Water Pass-Through
Rate shall be in addition to any water consumption rates for all retail and
wholesale customers that are billed for potable water service by the city. The
following are the customers that shall be subject to the application of the
Purchased Water Pass-through Rate and shall be subject to the pass-through
for changes in the cost of purchased water from WASD (the "Applicable
Customers"):
(i) The retail water customer classes that are billed the water consumption
charge referenced in this section.
29
(ii) All separate utilities or local governments that may receive wholesale
potable water service provided by the city currently or in the future that are
not considered to be retail customers.
(3) Calculation of Purchased Water Pass-Through Adjustment. The Purchased
Water Pass-Through Adjustment shall be calculated using the following
formula:
PWPTA = ((IWWC - PWWC) * (1/(1-(DF + T + 0)))
Where:
PWPTA = The Purchased Water Pass-Through Adjustment to be used for
Water Cost Recovery to determine the monetary adjustment in the
Purchased Water Pass-through Rate to be applied the Applicable
Customers. The PWPTA represents the respective dollar increase or
decrease to account for changes in wholesale potable water rates charged
by WASD to the city that is added or subtracted, respectively to the
Purchased Water Pass-Through Rate.
IWWC = The increased annual average wholesale or purchased water rate
charged by WASD expressed on a dollar per 1,000 gallons basis that became
effective for the month immediately after the PWWC.
PWWC = The prior annual average wholesale or purchased water rate
charged by WASD expressed on a dollar per 1,000 gallons basis immediately
prior to the billing of the adjusted wholesale or purchased water rate defined
as the IWWC.
DF = The fee paid to the Department of Environmental Resources
Management (DERM)which is based on a percent of rate revenues billed by
the city.
T=Any and all taxes or tax equivalents that may be paid by the water system
that is based on revenues billed by the city, including any payment in lieu of
tax imposed by the city on its water system.
0 = Any and all charges that may be paid by the city on behalf of the water
system that is based on revenues billed by the city, including any funding of
renewals and replacement fund deposits that is determined as a percent of
revenues billed.
(4) Determination of Purchased Water Pass-Through Rate. The Purchased Water
Pass-Through Rate shall be determined based on the addition or subtraction
of the Purchased Water Pass-Through Adjustment to the rates in effect
immediately preceding such adjustment and shall be rounded to the nearest
cent. The Purchased Water Pass-Through Adjustment application shall be
based on the following formula:
APWTR = PWPTR + PWPTA
30
Where:
APWTR = The Adjusted Purchased Water Pass-Through Rate that is to be
placed in effect after the application of the Purchased Water Pass-Through
Adjustment to all Applicable Customers billed for potable water service.
PWPTR = The Purchased Water Pass-Through Rate in effect immediately
prior to the application of the PWPTA.
PWPTA = The Purchased Water Pass-Through Adjustment as determined
as a result of a change in wholesale water rates as billed by WASD.

adjusted automatically in the future by the implementation of the provisions as
contained in this Appendix A and which are then in effect shall be increased or
decreased by the city by applying a pass-through adjustment factor established in
accordance with this subsection (the "Pass-Through Factor") to the then effective
Applicable Rates for increases or decreases in the Applicable Costs. All Applicable
Rates so adjusted (the "Pass-Through Rates") shall be charged by the city's water
system.
(1) Adjustment Schedule. The implementation of Pass-Through Rates for any
month associated with a change in Applicable Costs ("Cost Recovery") shall
be placed into effect automatically and shall occur without a public hearing.
31

including any payment in lieu of tax imposed by the city on its water system.
(iii)All other cost increases incurred by the water system as a result of any
regulatory changes or requirements imposed by any regulatory agency
having jurisdiction over the utility system operations (a "Regulator").
(4) Calculation of Pass-Through Factor. The Pass-Through Factor shall be
calculated using the following formula:
PTF = ARR/ER
Where:
PTF = The Pass-Through Factor used for Cost Recovery to determine the
monetary adjustment in the Applicable Rates. The PTF represents the
estimated annual increase in the Applicable Costs, expressed as a
percentage of the most recent historical revenues derived from the
Applicable Rates for the most recently completed fiscal year.
ARR = Additional Required Revenue equal to the estimated annual change
in the Applicable Costs that will affect the overall cost of providing water
system services as determined by the city.
ER = The total actual revenues earned by the Enterprise System from the
Applicable Rates for the potable water system as reported in the city for the
most recently completed fiscal year.
(5) Determination of Pass-Through Rates. The Pass-Through Rates shall be
determined based on the Pass-Through Factor applied uniformly to the
Applicable Rates in effect and shall be rounded to the nearest cent. The Pass-
through application shall be based on the following formula:
PTR = (AR)(1 + PTF)
Where:
PTR =The Pass-Through Rates that are to be placed in effect for the current
fiscal year through application of the Pass-Through Factor.
32
AR = The Applicable Rates in effect immediately prior to the application of
the Pass-Through Factor.

for the water system and 110-168(a) for the sanitary sewer system (collectively, the
"applicable rates") as shown in Appendix A and as may be further adjusted
automatically in the future by implementation of the provisions of this section and
which are then in effect shall be increased by the city each year by applying the price
index factor established for that year in accordance with this subsection (the "price
index factor") to the then applicable rates to offset the effects of inflation on the cost
of operating and maintaining the system. The Rate Index shall never be less than
0.0%. All applicable rates so adjusted (the "indexed rates") shall be implemented by
the city.
(1) Adjustment schedule. Each implementation of indexed rates ("rate indexing")
shall be placed into effect automatically and shall occur without a public
hearing. Rate indexing shall not be employed more than once in any fiscal year.
Any indexed rates based on the operating and maintenance expenses for the
most recently completed fiscal year shall be implemented as of October 1 of
the subsequent fiscal year. Nothing herein shall preclude the city from making
additional changes to the water or wastewater rates for service.
(2) Applicable rates. The water base facility charge and water consumption
charges referenced in subsection 110-167(a)for the water system and sanitary
sewer base facility charge and sanitary sewer consumption charges referenced

RECOMMENDATION
The Administration recommends adopting a proposed multi-year schedule of monthly water and
sewer rates in order to properly fund the Five-Year Critical Needs Capital Plan and set the
Satellite Municipalities sewer rate. The Five-Year Critical Needs plan will reduce the risk of
catastrophic sewer system failure, improve the drinking water system pressure, and improve fire
protection.
There are three options presented and detailed (charts and tables) in the analysis. Option 1:
eliminates any increase for 2021, Option 2: eliminates any increase for 2021 and limits the
increase for 2022 to 1%, and Option 3: eliminates any increase for years 2021 & 2022. Each
option provides the total revenue increase needed over the remaining 5-year term of the plan.
The Administration recommends approving the Ordinance, amended in order to reflect
percentages to be selected on Second Reading Public Hearing.
BACKGROUND/HISTORY
The City of Miami Beach owns, operates, and maintains a water and sewer utility. The City's
Page 293 of 1707
water and sewer utility does not treat its water and sewer. Instead, it has long established
agreements with Miami-Dade County to purchase water and transmit sewage at volume rates.
The City has been notified by the Miami Dade County Water and Sewer Department(WAS D)
that there will be a $0.1017 increase (3.18%) on the wholesale sanitary sewer rate and a
$0.1043 increase (6.17%)on the wholesale water rate beginning October 1, 2020.
At its March 18, 2020 meeting, the City Commission made a motion to accept the
recommendation of the Finance and Economic Resiliency Committee (FERC)to accept the
Five-Year Critical Needs Capital Plan for the City's water and wastewater system, totaling
$122.2 million. This approved the use of the $24 million available from bond proceeds and
the commencement of a rate study of the water and wastewater utility to determine financial
capacity for the water and wastewater work associated with the remaining funding of critical
• needs. The Public Works Department engaged GovRates, Inc. to conduct the rate study
which is now complete.
As mentioned at the May 8, 2020 FERC meeting,the City has been negotiating with the bank
to reduce the existing interest on debt by refinancing the Series 2010 Gulf Breeze Water and
Sewer Bonds which should reduce the necessary revenue requirements for debt service.
As of September 30, 2020, the water and sewer uncollectible account had a balance of $1.6
million representing almost double the amount of the uncollected revenue for the previous
fiscal year, which may be indicative of customer difficulty in paying utility bills due to worsened
economic conditions.
In order to properly fund the Five-Year Critical Needs Capital Plan, the City intended to
amend Chapter 110 and Appendix A to codify GovRates' recommendations. GovRates'
recommendations recognized the need to adopt a proposed schedule of water and sewer
rates for Fiscal Year 2021 through Fiscal Year 2025 in the form of small or incremental rate
increases.over time in order to avoid future rate shock and "catch up" rate increases, while
maintaining competitive and affordable rates.
The original GovRates' recommendations proposed to have the City Commission approve a
multi-year schedule of rates designed to increase combined water and sewer revenues by
2.4%, 2.3%, 2.3%, 2.3% and 2.3% for fiscal years 2021 through 2025 respectively, so that
the rates could be approved once and implemented each year in accordance with the fee
schedule. The recommendations were also to pass-through future WASD wholesale water
and sewer rate increases beyond Fiscal Year 2021 as allowable per the City Code of
Ordinances. Additionally, the recommendations were inclusive of the Congressional Budget
Office CPI Projections that are authorized by existing rate ordinance.
During the October 23, 2020 meeting of the Finance and Economic Resiliency Committee,
the Committee made a motion to proceed with the recommendations made by GovRates and
to bring it to the full Commission for approval. The suggested Ordinance amendments are
attached.
At its November 18, 2020 meeting of the City Commission, the City Clerk read the title of the
Ordinance into the record and pulled the item for discussion. Public Works Director, Roy Coley
introduced the item and began a presentation detailing the water and sewer rates genesis,
Page 294 of 1707
purpose and vision. At the completion of the presentation, a recommendation and request was
made by the Administration to approve the item on First Reading, and to proceed with a second
reading Public Hearing on December 9, 2020 of the proposed scheduled water and sewer
rates for FY 2021-2025. Commission members continued the discussion, stating they would
be amenable to consider, between first and second reading, utilizing additional available funding
sources in order to offset the proposed water and sewer rate increase. A motion was made to
move the item for Second Reading Public Hearing.
ANALYSIS
In order to limit changes to the utility's rate structure and provide stable water and sewer rates
through the end of the calendar year, the utility rate structure will remain unchanged until either
the beginning of fiscal year 2021, fiscal year 2022 or fiscal year 2023, depending on the
option selected, foregoing the typical yearly CPI and County pass-through adjustment at the
beginning of this fiscal year.
Consistent with the Mayor and Commissioners' willingness to consider, between first and
second reading, alternate, means of financing the Five-Year Critical Infrastructure Capital Plan,
Commissioner David Richardson, the Ordinance's sponsor requested for the Administration to
provide three options to be considered by the Mayor and City Commission. Option 1: to have
0% increase for 2021 and the needed balance evenly divided over the final four years, Option 2:
to have 0% increase in 2021, 1°/0 increase in 2022 and the needed balance evenly divided over
the final three years, Option 3: to have 0% increase in years 2021 and 2022 and the overall
increase divided over the final three years. The option originally proposed and the three
alternate options are presented below:

rate adjustments from Miami-Dade County as already allowed per the City Code.
Should the proposed five year water and sewer rate increase not be adopted, the rates will be
increased annually based on CPI and County pass-through in accordance with current City
Code.
Additionally, wholesale sewer rates will be right-sized in order to accurately capture the cost of
transmission, allowed per the contracts with Satellite Municipalities. As seen in the table below,
the wet season and dry season wholesale sewer rates for Town of Surfside, Bay Harbor
Islands, and Village of Bal Harbour will be increased by 3.6% in Fiscal Year 2021.

The rate increases, which will be implemented annually through Fiscal Year 2025, are
anticipated to fully fund the Five-Year Critical Needs Capital Plan for the City's water and
wastewater system - totaling approximately $122.2 million - while maintaining debt service
coverage and cash reserves at levels sufficient to maintain the system's creditworthiness.
The United States Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) standard for affordability for water
and sewer service is 4.5%. The median household income for Miami Beach per census.gov is
$53,348. A water and sewer bill of $122.98 in Fiscal Year 2021 for 7,000 gallons of usage
would be 2.54%of median household income,which is well below 4.5%.
Water and sewer utilities are highly regulated, and the regulatory bodies have the power to
impose fines and consent orders if a local government does not take good care of its utility
infrastructure. Fines are often imposed if the infrastructure fails and causes pollution, or if the
Page 297 of 1707
utility fails to meet regulatory requirements. The attached articles and consent order
communicate what Miami-Dade County had to deal with back in 2013. The County agreed to
pay a civil fine of $978.100 and $825,000 to hire an outside monitor to oversee the consent
decree's implementation.
The chart below shows how the City of Miami Beach's water and sewer rates compare to many
other South Florida communities based on a single-family residence using 7,000 gallons. The
current rates for the City of Miami Beach are depicted in "green" .Additionally, it is worth noting
for comparison purposes each of the communities listed with an (*) is considering rate
revisions.

The funding plan assumes: i) the use of the remaining proceeds from the Series 2017 Bonds;
ii) the issuance of additional bonds in 2022 to finance approximately$50.2 million of
projects; and iii) the refunding of the outstanding Series 2010 Bonds. The refunding of the
existing bonds would provide additional cash flow to fund a portion of the critical capital needs
on a pay-as-you-go basis (balanced debt risk). It is estimated that the debt service savings
from refinancing the Series 2010 Bonds using a bank loan or additional bonds, would be
approximately$16.5 million through Fiscal Year 2030 (an approximate net present value of$12
Page 298 of 1707
million). These numbers are estimated using today's current market conditions and can vary
depending on credit availability and general market conditions at the time of the bond issuance
or securing the bank loan. Additional information is provided in the chart below.

[*] The refunding of the existing Series 2010 Bonds would provide additional cash flow to fund
on a pay-as-you-go basis a portion of the critical capital needs recognized through the Fiscal
Year 2024 as well as critical capital needs identified beyond Fiscal Year 2024. Based on
preliminary numbers provided by the City's Financial Advisor, debt service savings could
potentially total about$16.5 million through the Fiscal Year 2030.
These proposed rate increases reflect the funding of the projects identified in the
Five-Year Critical Needs Capital Plan, as adopted by the City Commission. Additional
increases may be required if water and sewer improvements are constructed as part
of the Jacobs Engineering neighborhood prioritization.
At first reading on November 18, 2020, the City Commission requested that the Administration
bring back additional information regarding potential funding from the Miami-Dade County
I nteriocal Agreement Fund (ILA) that could potentially offset a portion or all of the proposed
rate increases related to the $50 million in planned new bonds for critical water& sewer system
capital projects.
The amended and restated I nterlocal Cooperation Agreement with Miami-Dade County
(Miami-Dade ILA) approved on November 19, 2014 (Resolution #2014-28836) authorized a
modification to the payments from the County to the City of funds that were restricted for capital
projects within the former South Pointe Redevelopment Agency geographic area. The
amended agreement removed restrictions on the City's use of these funds, thus allowing the
City to use the funding for sea level rise mitigation or other projects in the City. Although the
language in the Agreement does not limit the City to only use the funds to address sea-level
rise and flooding issues on a citywide basis. it was the intent of driving the change to the
Interlocal Agreement. For example, the Memorandum of Understanding between the City and
the County specifically mentions that the change to the ILA "would be especially important in
helping the City address stormwater, climate change, and sea-level rise issues."
The City Commission subsequently earmarked the Miami-Dade ILA fund for stormwater
capital projects to offset the need for an additional stormwater rate increase needed for the
third $100 million in planned capital projects. The Official Statement and Financial Feasibility
Report developed for the 2017 Stormwater Bonds (the second $100 million) included an
anticipated $103 million from this funding source (actual amounts to be received are dependent
Page 299 of 1707
on growth in property values). The Engineer's Report developed by AECOM for the 2017
Stormwater Bonds estimated the total cost of the Stormwater program at $658.9 million. The.
planned use of the Miami-Dade ILA funds to pay for the next tranche of Stormwater projects in
lieu of a rate increase was most recently discussed on January 27, 2020 at the City
Commission's Resiliency Workshop.
Since the Miami-Dade ILA was amended and restated in 2014, this funding source (funds 320
and 433) has generated $68 million, of which $5.7 million has been spent, $24.2 million is
committed, and $38.0 million is uncommitted. Between now and the last payment in 2022, the
City currently estimates receiving an additional $35 million (actual amounts to be received are
dependent on growth in property values). The uncommitted amount and the pending payments
from the County total approximately$73 million.
The language in the Miami-Dade ILA allows the City to use the funding for sea level rise
mitigation or other projects in the City. However, because the anticipated need for funding for
the Stormwater program is estimated at over $600 million and the City's stormwater rate is
already the third highest in the state (see table below), the City Commission earmarked these
funds to lessen the need to increase the stormwater rate for the next tranche of stormwater
capital projects.

Page 300 of 1707
If the Miami-Dade I LA fund is used to offset all or a portion of the proposed Water & Sewer
rate increase, the likely result would be a need for a sooner than anticipated increase to the
stormwater rate to cover the next tranche of necessary upcoming capital projects.
Administration does not recommend the use of Miami-Dade ILA funds for this purpose given
that (1) there is a clear funding need for several hundred million of anticipated stormwater
capital projects in the near term. (2) the Miami Beach stormwater rate is already the third
highest in the state, and (3) the stormwater rate is allocated on a flat ERU basis instead of a
demand model like the Water& Sewer rate.
Results from the 2019 Resident Survey show that 69% of residents were satisfied with the
City's stormwater and drainage improvements. In order to continue maintaining excellent
standards in this area, the City is considering a proposed multi-year schedule of monthly water and
sewer rates in order to properly fund the Five-Year Critical Needs Capital Plan and set the Satellite
Municipalities sewer rate.
CONCLUSION
The Administration recommends adopting a proposed multi-year schedule of monthly water and
sewer rates in order to properly fund the Five-Year Critical Needs Capital Plan and set the Satellite
Municipalities sewer rate. The Five-Year Critical Needs plan will reduce the risk of catastrophic
sewer system failure, improve the drinking water system pressure, and improve fire protection.
There are three options presented and detailed (charts and tables) in the analysis. Option 1:
eliminates any increase for 2021, Option 2: eliminates any increase for 2021 and limits the
increase for 2022 to 1%, and Option 3: eliminates any increase for years 2021 & 2022. Each
option provides the total revenue increase needed over the remaining 5-year term of the plan.
The Administration recommends approving the Ordinance, amended in order to reflect
percentages to be selected on Second Reading Public Hearing.

Subject: Water and Sewer Rate Study
GovRates, Inc. ("GovRates") has completed our review of the water and sewer rates for the City
of Miami Beach (the "City") and has prepared this report which summarizes our analyses,
findings, and recommendations. This utility rate study included preparing a financial forecast
through the Fiscal Year 2030.
Developing a financial and rate plan for the City's water and sewer system (the "System")
involved multiple considerations:
The financial and rate plan should consider utility best management practices and should
promote financial sustainability and creditworthiness.
The proposed monthly user rates should be considered equitable, affordable, and
corn petitive.
The proposed rate plan should not cause "rate shock" to customers. From a best financial
management practices standpoint, smaller incremental increases over time can help avoid
future rate shock and large "catch up" rate increases.
The proposed rates should enable the utility to perform the necessary capital improvements
and operational enhancements to remain compliant with the regulatory requirements of the
Florida Department of Environmental Protection, the Florida Department of Health, and the
Environmental Protection Agency.
The proposed user rates should provide the System with an adequate level of revenue
stability given the seasonality and cyclicality of water sales and corresponding billable sewer
flow.
The water user rate structure should encourage conservation of water resources.

GovRates believes that the financial and rate plan presented in this report reflects a reasonable
balance of the aforementioned considerations. Following this letter is an executive summary that
provides an overview of our analyses and conclusions. The other sections of the report provide
additional details regarding the financial forecast and rate development.
As noted in the report,the City has an opportunity to refund the Utility's outstanding Series 2009
Bonds to achieve debt service savings of about$16.5 million.The financial forecast presented in
this report assumes that the City will move forward with the refunding.
We greatly appreciate the opportunity to be of service to the City and would like to thank the
City management and staff for their tremendous assistance and cooperation during the course
of the water and sewer rate study.
Yours in government service,

EXECUTIVE
SUMMARY
AND RECOMMENDATIONS
The City of Miami Beach (the "City") owns a water and sanitary sewer system (the "System" or
the "Utility")that provides an essential service on a continual basis and that operates in a highly-
regulated environment. Regulatory agencies for the Utility include the Florida Department of
Environmental Protection (the "FDEP"), the South Florida Water Management District
("SFWMD"), the Florida Department of Health, and the Environmental Protection Agency. The
System currently provides service to approximately 13,478 retail water accounts, 9,606 retail
sewer accounts, and three (3) wholesale sewer customers (the Village of Bal Harbour, the Town
of Bay Harbor Islands, and the Town of Surfside).
The System is established as a utility enterprise fund and is a large "business" of the City.
According to the Governmental Accounting Standards Board, "Enterprise Funds should be used
to account for operations that are financed and operated in a manner similar to private business
enterprises— where the intent of the governing body is that costs of providing services to the
general public on a continuing basis should be financed or recovered primarily through user
charges."
The installed cost of System assets under City management was about $350 million as of
September 30, 2019. The System should have revenues equal to the costs of the services
provided by the Utility, and the City should establish rates sufficient to cover the cost of
operating, maintaining, repairing, and financing the System. There are also rate covenants
associated with the System's outstanding debt that require the City to establish the Utility's rates
at certain levels to meet the debt obligations.To assist the City in reviewing the sufficiency of its
rates, GovRates, Inc. ("GovRates")was retained to perform a utility rate study.
h:C.7 F '..:i.,CL[ Targets
The costs associated with operaling and maintaining a utility system, as well as the costs of
financing the renewals / replacements of existing facilities and the capital improvements for
upgrades and expansions, are generally considered to be the revenue requirements of public
utilities such as the City's. With respect to identifying revenue requirements for the forecast

period of Fiscal Year 2020 through the Fiscal Year 2030 (the "Forecast Period"), the following
Exhibit ES-1 shows the elements considered:

The financial and rate plan should recognize the need to maintain appropriate debt service
coverage ratios and adequate operating margins and reserves to fund ongoing capital needs and
maintain the financial condition of the System.A target all-in net revenues debt service coverage
ratio of 200% is recommended, and it is proposed that the Utility target an unrestricted cash
reserves balance equal to at least 365 days cash on hand (essentially one year of operating
expenses excluding depreciation and amortization expenses). These debt service coverage and
cash targets are consistent with those of strong financial credits. Higher credit ratings can
translate to lower interest rates when debt financing and lower user rates over the long term for
the benefit of the Utility's customers.
The City's current water and sewer user rates have been in effect since October 1, 2019. As part
of the current utility rate study, financial projections were prepared for the System for the Fiscal
Year 2020 through the Fiscal Year 2030( previously defined as the "Forecast Period").
Based on the assumptions relied upon in the development of the System revenue requirements,
GovRates has identified the need for rate adjustments for both the water system and the sewer
system. The primary reasons for the identified rate adjustments are to:
1. Fund the Utility's multi-year capital improvement program (the "CIP"). The Utility has
identified critical capital needs of approximately$122.2 million through the Fiscal Year 2024,
and about $93 million in similar capital needs for Fiscal Years 2025 to 2030. These capital
needs are based on recent utility master plan findings and are primarily replacements or
rehabilitations of utility assets reaching the end of their service lives to continue providing
reliable water and sewer service. A summary of the critical capital needs through Fiscal Year
2024, which have already been presented to the City Commission, is shown in the following

As shown in the following Exhibit ES-3,the critical capital needs through the Fiscal Year 2024
are projected to be funded from the remaining proceeds from the Utility's Series 2017 Bonds,
additional debt proceeds through an assumed 2022 bond issue,and rate revenues/operating
reserves (pay-as-you-go):

550.2 M Remaining Proceeds from
Series 2017 Bonds(39.5%)
5483 M Proceeds from Issuance of
Additional Bonds in 2022
(41.1%)
2. Fund the costs of future operations. There are many factors that affect the costs of
operations over which the Utility has limited or no control. Nearly 60% of the Utility's
operating expenses are uncontrollable wholesale charges from Miami-Dade County.The City
remits 6% of retail revenues to the Miami-Dade Department of Environmental Resources
Management (DERM) to help pay for the costs of regulation of the City's Utility by Miami-
Dade County. Factors such as cost increases from electric power providers, changes in fuel
and oil prices resulting from global market changes, and competition for scarce resources
such as concrete and building materials often result in cost increases that are greater than
change in the consumer price index (general inflation). Utility costs also typically increase at
a higher rate than general inflation due to regulatory requirements. It is important to
recognize that these increased costs are usually permanent increases in the costs of
operations and, as such, must ultimately be passed through to customers through rates.
Inflation is expected to continue to affect System operating margins. The Congressional
Budget Office has projected the national consumer price index (CPI) to continue increasing
by over 2%per year during the Forecast Period despite the COVID-19 pandemic.
3. Maintain appropriate debt service coverage ratios and adequate operating margins and
reserves to fund ongoing capital needs and maintain the financial condition of the System.
The System's outstanding and anticipated debt consists of senior lien revenue bonds. The
bond resolution contains a rate covenant that is a formal agreement between the City and
bondholders.
Page 313 of 1707 ES-4
Water and Sewer Rate Study
The City has an opportunity to refund the Utility's outstanding Series 2010 Bonds to achieve
debt service savings of about $16.5 million. The financial forecast presented in this report
assumes that the City will move forward with the refunding.
The City's existing user rates for water and sewer service are not anticipated to fully recover the
City's projected utility revenue requirements during the Forecast Period. If the user rates are not
adiusted, user rates may be even higher in the future. The capital needs for the System will not
go away, but will most likely be more expensive to address in the future. Inflation and the costs
of construction continue to affect System costs.
Based on the financial forecast, the funding plan for the System, and discussions with City staff,
the following Exhibit ES-4 shows the proposed revenue adjustments:

[1] PTA=Pass-Through Adjustment.
[2] Based on proposed rates applied to single family residential ("SFR") customer with 7,000 gallons of
monthly usage.
These adjustments assume the continued pass-through of future wholesale rate adjustments
from Miami-Dade County as allowed per the City Code of Ordinances. Beyond Fiscal Year 2025,
the financial forecast also recognizes automatic rate indexing—also allowed per the City Code of
Ordinances — to account for general increases in operating expenses other than the increased
costs for wholesale service.The adjustments are considered by the City staff to be representative
of the increases in costs to effectively operate and maintain the System given the specific
requirements of the System service area. As shown in the preceding exhibit,the first adjustments
are recommended to become effective as soon as possible.
As further discussed in Section 2 of this report,it is recommended that the City gradually increase
base charge recovery—the percentage of revenue recovered through fixed charges—to promote
revenue stability. Most of the Utility's operating expenses and all the debt service are fixed. The
effects of COVID-19 and the anticipated debt financing support increasing base charge recovery.
Current fixed charge recovery is about 8%, but the utility industry recommended minimum is
Page 314 of 1707 ES-5
r r;ti :.,. Water and Sewer Rate Study
30%. A summary of the existing and proposed monthly water and sewer user rates is shown in
Table ES-1 at the end of this executive summary.
The proposed rates produce bills that are competitive with those of other"neighboring" utilities.
At a usage level of 7,000 gallons, the average monthly usage level of a single family residential
customer, the combined water and sewer bill under the proposed Fiscal Year 2021 rates would
be lower than those of the City of Lake Worth Beach, the City of Hollywood, the City of Dania
Beach, the City of Wilton Manors, the City of North Miami Beach, the City of Oakland Park, and
the Town of Davie. It is important to note that a rate or bill comparison is not a "report card" on
how well a utility is performing, as there are several factors that affect the rate levels charged.

Wholesale sewer rates are charged to the Village of Bal Harbour,the Town of Bay Harbor Islands,
and the Town of Surfside (the "Satellite Municipalities"). Based on the Miami-Dade County
wholesale sewer rates,operations and maintenance expenses for the City's booster stations used
in the sewer transmission, 1.5%administrative fees, and a renewal/replacement allowance,the
proposed sewer rates for the Satellite Municipalities are shown in the following Exhibit ES-5:
Exhibit ES-5:
Pro•osed Fiscal Year 2021 Wholesale Sewer Rates

Existing Per 1,000 Gallons $3.9519 $3.1006
Proposed Per 1,000 Gallons ASAP $4.0935 $3.2129
Change-% 3.6% 3.6%
The Utility's consulting engineers are currently updating the transmission booster station costs,
after which the City should "right-size"the wholesale sewer rates for the Satellite Municipalities.
Tables ES-2 and ES-3 of this executive summary provides a financial overview of forecasted
System operations. These tables indicate the following for all projected fiscal years, assuming
that the projected user rate adjustments for all fiscal years are implemented:
1. Overall or all-in net revenues debt service coverage—net revenues divided by the annual debt
service requirement—of at least 200%during most years of the Forecast Period.The Utility's
rate covenants associated with the System's outstanding debt obligations include a 110%net
revenues coverage requirement on the outstanding senior lien obligations. Utility best
management practices recognize the need to target coverage ratios greater than the
minimum required so that the Utility has sufficient operating margins to fund annual or
Page 315 of 1707 ES-6
= : ; Water and Sewer Rate Study
recurring renewal and replacement capital needs. Revenues remaining after the payment of
operating expenses and debt service should be used for these"pay-as-you-go" reinvestments
in the System to help ensure that the System remains operationally sustainable and that
service interruptions to customers are avoided.
2. Maintenance of adequate operating reserves.
3. Maintenance of affordable rates. Bills for the average residential customer using 7,000
gallons per month are projected to remain well below 4.5% of the City's median household
income throughout the Forecast Period. According to the Environmental Protection Agency,
combined monthly water and sewer bills less than 4.5% of median household income are
considered affordable.
Based on the financial forecast and assuming the implementation of the proposed rate
adjustments,the Utility is projected to remain in a good financial position through the Fiscal Year
2030.
Based on our analyses and findings as summarized in this section of the report and as further
detailed in Sections 1 and 2 of this report,GovRates recommends the following items for the City
Commission's consideration:
1. Adopt the proposed monthly water and sewer rates. Smaller, incremental rate increases
over time help to avoid future "rate shock" and "catch up" increases.The proposed rates will
produce bills considered competitive and affordable and are anticipated to favorably position
the utility for the issuance of additional bonds in a few years to fund replacement /
rehabilitation of utility assets. Third-party evaluators such as credit rating agencies want to
see that all increases needed to support debt have already been adopted.
2. Pass-through future wholesale rate increases from Miami-Dade County pursuant to the
formula contained in the City's Code of Ordinances.
3. Proceed with the refunding of the Utility's outstanding Series 2010 Bonds to achieve debt
service savings.
4. Right-size the wholesale sewer rates once updated costs of the City's sewer transmission
booster stations are available.
5. Continue to monitor the financial position of the Utility system and adjust the financial and
rate plan as needed. The long-term effects of COVID-19 as well as changes in economic
conditions, customer usage trends, the regulatory environment, capital needs, etc. could
potentially affect significantly the projections contained in this report.

Water and Sewer Rate Study
SECTION 1:
FINANCIAL
FORECAST
The City of Miami Beach (the "City") is located in southeast Florida in Miami-Dade County (the
"County") and occupies about 17.5 square miles. Based on information developed by the Bureau
of Economic and Business Research of the University of Florida ("BEBR") and published on the
website of the State of Florida Office of Economic and Demographic Research ("EDR"),the City's
total population as of April 1, 2019 was 93,988. As reported by the EDR, the City was the fourth
largest municipality located in the County out of 34 municipalities. (The City of Miami,the City of
Hialeah, and the City of Miami Gardens are the municipalities in the County with larger
populations.)
J F i;f: i n g, i' f �..7 �'1:4 1 n .i
The City's current water and sewer user rates have been in effect since October 1, 2019. On
September 27,2016,the City Commission enacted Ordinance No. 2016-4039 that established the
water and sewer monthly user rates for the System(the"Rate Ordinance").The adopted monthly
rates as referenced in the Rate Ordinance include: i) a flat or constant base facility charge for
each service that is predicated on the size of the meter for both the water and sewer systems; ii)
for the water system, a consumption charge consisting of inclining blocked rates to promote
water conservation; iii)for the water system,a purchased water pass-through rate to recover the
costs of wholesale water service purchased from the County, including any increase in DERM
Fees; iv)for the sewer system, a constant volumetric flow charge based on one hundred percent
(100%) of the metered water consumption to such account (domestic use; would not include
separately metered water-only use); and v) for the sewer system, a purchased sanitary sewer
pass-through rate to recover the costs of wholesale sewer service from the County, including any
increase in DERM Fees.The revenues derived from the application of the rates for monthly retail
water service and retail and wholesale sewer service account for approximately 99% of the
reported System Gross Revenues.
The Rate Ordinance includes certain provisions to automatically adjust rates either annually to
recover an allowance for the cost of inflation on operations or immediately upon certain events
that would result in a change in costs such as an increase in wholesale water and sanitary sewer
rates billed by the County or an increase in the DERM Fee.Such fees can be implemented without
Page 338 of_1707 1-1
... . Water and Sewer Rate Study
formal City Commission approval (through a separate ordinance adoption) but generally are
presented through the budget process or if conditions are warranted by the City. The following
is a summary discussion of the automatic rate adjustment provisions contained in the Rate
Ordinance:
Pass-Through of Wholesale Rate Adiustments
The Rate Ordinance contains a provision whereby the purchased water pass-through rate and
purchased sanitary sewer pass-through rate will be adjusted without a public hearing whenever
the County implements changes to its wholesale service rates charged to the City. The pass-
through adjustment formulas identified in the Rate Ordinance consider the change in the
wholesale service rates adjusted for the fee paid to the DERM that is based on a percent
(currently 6%)of retail rate revenues billed by the City.
Automatic Rate Indexing
The Rate Ordinance allows for automatic rate indexing of the monthly user rates to account for
general increases in operating expenses other than increased costs for wholesale service (which
are passed-through separately) due to inflationary impacts on the ongoing cost of providing
service.The index applied by the City is the Consumer Price Index—All Urban Consumers, Miami-
Fort Lauderdale as published by the United States Bureau of Labor Statistics. The rate indexing
formula contained in the Rate Ordinance adjusts for the fee paid to the DERM that is based on a
percent of rate revenues (currently 8% as discussed previously in this Report) billed by the City.
Table ES-1 in the executive summary of this report shows the existing retail monthly water and
sewer user rates. A copy of the Rate Ordinance is included as the Appendix to this report.
. ., 's` E. moi: '. tc+ ; -
During the Fiscal Year 2019, it is estimated that the City's utility service requirements included
providing water service to an average of 13,478 domestic and irrigation water accounts and
53,272 water equivalent residential connections ("ERCs") based on meter equivalency factors as
shown in Table 1-1 at the end of this section. An ERC represents the annual average use of an
individually metered residential (single-family)customer. For the determination of the estimated
number of ERCs served, such estimates were based on the use of meter equivalent factors
applied to the meters in service. The meter equivalent factors were based on information
published by the American Water Works Association (AWWA), which documents the capacities
of the various meter sizes typically used by Florida utilities in the establishment of monthly base
facility charges, including the Florida Public Service Commission (FPSC) and the City. The meter
equivalent factors are based on the equivalent hydraulic throughput capacity of the meters and
are shown in the following Exhibit 1-1 by meter size:

Based on discussions with the City staff, since the Utility service area is essentially built out, no
customer growth was assumed during the Forecast Period. Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and
as noted in Table 1-1, the Utility has experienced a decrease in commercial usage. A three-year
recovery period was assumed such that, by Fiscal Year 2023, customer usage would return to
pre-COVID-19 levels.

During the Fiscal Year 2019, it is estimated that the City's utility service requirements included
providing sewer service to an average of 9,606 retail sewer accounts and 36,969 retail sewer ERCs
based on meter equivalency factors as shown in Table 1-1 at the end of this section. Similar to
the water system, no sewer system customer growth was assumed during the Forecast Period.A
three-year recovery period was assumed such that, by Fiscal Year 2023, customer usage would
return to pre-COVID-19 levels.

The forecast of retail revenues from existing water and sewer rates was based on: i) the
projection of System accounts and corresponding water and sewer consumption as shown in
Table 1-1; and ii) the existing rates for monthly water and sewer service as currently adopted by
the City.A summary of the estimated water and sewer user rate revenues derived under existing
rates is included in Table 1-2 at the end of this section.The projected water and sewer user rate
revenues by fiscal year based on the previously discussed forecast of customer statistics is
summarized in the following Exhibit 1-2:

The costs associated with operating and maintaining a utility system, as well as the costs of
financing the renewals and replacements of existing facilities and the capital improvements for
upgrades and expansions, are generally considered as the revenue requirements of a public
utility such as the City's System. The sum of these costs, after adjusting for other operating and
non-operating(e.g., interest income,impact fees available to pay expansion-related debt service)
revenues available to the utility, represents the net revenue requirements of a utility system that
must be funded from the monthly user charges or rates. The following is a summary of the net
revenue requirement derivation:
+ Cost of Operation and Maintenance
+ Debt Service Payments(Senior and Subordinate)
+ Transfers and Administration Payments
+ Capital Project Financing
+ Working Capital Reserves/ Financial Compliance
- Other Operating Revenue and Other Funding Sources
- Interest Income
= Net Revenue Requirements (Funded from User Rates)
Net revenue requirements signify the expenditure levels required to be recovered from monthly
user fees or rates. The development of the net revenue requirements of the System is a critical
component of the analysis since utility rates should be designed to fully recover the cost of
providing service.

The financial evaluation contained in this utility rate analysis covered projections for the 11 fiscal
year period of October 1, 2019 through September 30, 2030 (previously defined as the "Forecast
Period"). A forecast of System operations was prepared in order to: i) assess the adequacy of
utility rates in the near future; ii) recognize potential cost recovery strategies based on the phase-
in of any required rate adjustments to meet the projected revenue requirements and finance
identified capital expenditure requirements; and iii) examine the financial implications of
alternatives to funding the System's multi-year capital improvement program.
The projected revenue requirements are shown in Tables 1-3 and 1-4 at the end of this section
for the water system and sewer system, respectively, while the combined System revenue
requirements are shown in Table 1-5. In the preparation of the financial projections contained in
this report and the conclusions that follow,GovRates has made certain assumptions with respect
to conditions that may occur in the future. While we believe the assumptions are reasonable and
based on the best available information for the purpose of this report,they are dependent upon
future events, and actual conditions may differ from those assumed. We recommend that the
City continue to compare actual results with the projections contained in this report to ensure
that the Utility's rates continue to be sufficient.
For the purposes of the financial projections, the principal considerations and assumptions were
either made by us or provided to us by others. These primary considerations and assumptions
include the following:
1. Projected revenues from current rates and charges for the City's water system and sewer
system have been based on the schedule of rates and charges currently in effect. Such rates
were applied to the customer and sales usage forecast discussed previously.
2. The Fiscal Years 2020 and 2021 Operating and Capital Budgets as provided by the City served
as the baseline for the expenditure projections for the remainder of the Forecast Period and
the underlying assumptions contained in these budgets were considered reasonable and to
reflect anticipated operations.The budgeted operating expenses were compared with actual
historical results and trends in operating expenses.
3. Table 1-6 at the end of this section summarizes: i) the budgeted Fiscal Year 2020 and Fiscal
Year 2021 operations and maintenance expenses for the System; ii) the adjustments made
to the forecast for known operational and ratemaking considerations; and iii) the allocation
of such expenses between the water and sewer systems.
4. The operation and maintenance expenses for the water and sewer systems identified for the
Fiscal Year 2021 were projected for the remaining nine (9) years of the Forecast Period
(through Fiscal Year 2030).These projections are displayed on Tables 1-7 and 1-8 at the end
Page 342,of,1707 1-5
Water and Sewer Rate Study
of this section for the water and sewer systems, respectively, while Table 1-9 shows the
projected operation and maintenance expenses on a combined basis. Table 1-10 indicates
the escalation factors utilized in the analysis that were based on the nature of the expense
and information provided by the City staff. The forecast of inflation was based upon the
consumer price index (CPI) forecast prepared by the Congressional Budget Office as
contained in "The Budget and Economic Outlook: 2020 to 2030" published in January 2020.
Despite the COVID-19 pandemic, the Congressional Budget Office is still projecting inflation
to continue in the future.This inflation forecast was compared to other pricing indices used
by many utilities for financial forecasting and rate review purposes. Major cost escalation
factors assumed were based on discussions with City staff and include:
• Salaries and Wages: 3.0% per year
• Health Insurance: 5.0% per year
• Repair and Maintenance Expenses: 4.0% per year
• Property/General Insurance: 4.0% per year
• Electricity Commodity Cost: 4.0% per year
• Chemicals Commodity Cost: 4.0% per year
• Gas/ Fuel Commodity Cost: 5.0% per year
• Administrative Charge to General Fund: 3.0% per year
5. The wholesale water and sewer charges from Miami-Dade County were held constant after
Fiscal Year 2021 under the assumption that the City would pass-through all future wholesale
increases via the pass-through formula currently in the City's Code of Ordinances. Table 1-
11 at the end of this section contains the projected wholesale water and sewer charges.
6. Based on discussions with City staff, no additional personnel above Fiscal Year 2021 budget
levels have been recognized for purposes of developing the financial forecast.
7. In the projection of the estimated expenditure requirements, a contingency allowance has
been included for Fiscal Years 2020 through 2030.This annual allowance of about$3 million
has been included as an operating expense in order to have additional funds to meet
unknown or unplanned expenses throughout the fiscal year and to recognize potential
changes in revenues that may result due to weather, conservation, and other factors. To the
extent the contingency allowance is not required to meet annual operating expenses or
provide funds for ongoing System operations, such monies would accrue to the benefit of
the System and could be used for other purposes such as funding renewals, replacements,
and upgrades to the System over time.The Utility has historically had to utilize contingency
allowances for unplanned for expenditures during each fiscal year.
8. An allowance for bad debt expenses has been made to recognize that a certain amount of
revenues will be considered as uncollectible and written off throughout the year. This
Page 343 of 1707 1-6
Water and Sewer Rate Study
expenditure item reflects an incremental adjustment to each year's operating expenses and
was estimated at 0.50% of user rate revenue.
9. For the purposes of this analysis, amounts associated with depreciation and amortization
expenses have not been recognized in this analysis. These expenditures are non-cash in
nature and are also not considered as operating expenses for ratemaking purposes under
the flow of funds provision of the Utility's bond resolution. Therefore, such amounts have
not been recognized as a revenue requirement to be recovered from rates for the Forecast
Period. It should be noted that an allowance for the funding of capital projects, renewals/
replacements, and/or reserves has been recognized which essentially provides for the cash
funding of these expenses.
10. The System's outstanding and anticipated debt consists of senior lien revenue bond issues.
The City currently has the opportunity to refund the Utility's outstanding Series 2010 Bonds
to save approximately $16.5 million in debt service payments during the Forecast Period.
These projected savings are based on debt runs provided by the City's Financial Advisor and
summarized in the following Exhibit 1-3. The financial forecast reflected in this report
assumes that the City will proceed with the refunding.

To fund a portion of the multi-year capital improvement program, it was assumed that
approximately$50.2 million in capital needs would be financed through a 2022 bond issue.
Page 344 of 1707 1-7
Water and Sewer Rate Study
Assumptions for this additional bond issue that were provided by the City's Financial Advisor
include: i) a principal amount of $50,655,000; ii) a term of 30 years; iii) an average coupon
rate of 5.0%; iv) issuance costs of$452,620; and v) a delivery date of February 3, 2022. Debt
service payments for this issue were assumed to be wrapped around existing debt service
payments to achieve overall level debt service. The assumed debt service payments are
$1.463 million in Fiscal Year 2022; $2.533 million per year from Fiscal Years 2023 to 2047;
and $11.7 million per year for Fiscal Years 2048 to 2052.
Table 1-12 at the end of this section contains a summary of projected debt service payments
during the Forecast Period.
11. The projected capital expenditures over the next 11 years(i.e.,through the Fiscal Year ending
September 30, 2030) for the water and sewer system were based on discussions with the
City staff. Table 1-13 at the end of this section provides a detailed listing of the capital
projects for the water and sewer system as well as projected funding sources for such
projects within the analysis period.
12. Interest income has been recognized as an available revenue source to fund the expenditure
needs of the System. For the Forecast Period, interest income was based on estimated
balances in unrestricted funds as defined in the Bond Resolution.Thus,for the determination
of the revenue requirements from rates, no earnings have been reflected on balances in the
impact fee funds or in the Construction Fund established from proceeds derived from the
issuance of senior lien obligations to fund capital projects. Although the restricted earnings
are available for capital project funding, the earnings are not being considered as being
available to fund utility operating expenses since such earnings are restricted to the account
pursuant to the Bond Resolution. As such, the earnings on the restricted funds are not
included in the development of the revenue requirements of the Utility system.
In the development of the estimated interest earnings, an average interest rate of 1.00%
was assumed to be earned on the estimated average fund balances during the Forecast
Period. This interest rate is based on recent earning performance results of the utility,
discussions with the City, and a review of earnings performance of available investment
vehicles to the City (e.g., State Board of Administration).
Table 1-14 at the end of this section contains the projection of fund balances and interest
income.
13. The City receives other operating revenues from miscellaneous charges for specific customer
service requests or needs which serve to reduce rate revenue requirements. Examples of
such revenues include turn-on and turn-off charges, initiation of service charges, meter
Page 345 of 1707 1-8
Water and Sewer Rate Study
installation and tap-in charges, late payment fees,and fire protection charges.Such amounts
were generally held constant during the Forecast Period.
Table 1-15 at the end of this section contains the projection of these other revenues.
r
As shown on Tables 1-3 and 1-4 at the end of this section and as shown in the financial overview
and graphical presentation in the executive summary of this report,3.50%annual water revenue
increases and 1.5%annual sewer revenue increases have been recognized through the Fiscal Year
2025. From Fiscal Year 2022 through 2025, it is assumed that the City will pass-through future
wholesale rate increases from the County. Beyond Fiscal Year 2025, it is assumed that the City
will implement both pass-through and CPI indexing adjustments as allowed per the City's Code
of Ordinances. These adjustments are based on the assumptions discussed throughout this
report.

A significant financial parameter of the System is the ability to be in compliance with the rate
covenants as defined in the Bond Resolution. Among other things, the Bond Resolution contains
certain covenants with must be satisfied, the purpose of which is to provide a surety to the
bondholders that the debt payments will be made during the term of such bonds. Generally,
these covenants are in the form of: i) certain debt service coverage ratios which are applicable
to the level of rates charged and the revenue margins achieved; ii) application of funds; and iii)
certain requirements associated with the provision of service.
The Utility's Bond Resolution contains a covenant under which the City will establish rates such
that:
"Net Revenues...will be sufficient to provide an amount in each Fiscal Year at least equal
to one hundred ten per centum (110%)of the Principal and Interest Requirements for such
Fiscal Year on account of the Bonds then Outstanding..."
Net Revenues do not include administration fees. Table 1-16 at the end of this section
summarizes the ability of the System Net Revenues to meet the rate covenant provisions of the
Bond Resolution.Assuming the adoption of the proposed rate adjustments,the Net Revenues of
the water and sewer system are expected to meet the rate covenant requirements as defined in
the Bond Resolution. The projected coverage is summarized in the following Exhibit 1-4:

_< Water and Sewer Rate Study
SECTION 2:
USER RATE
DESIGN
User rate design involves the calculation of monthly rates and charges for each customer
classification (e.g., residential, commercial, etc.). As noted in the transmittal letter of this report,
developing a financial and rate plan for the System involves multiple considerations:
The financial and rate plan should consider utility best management practices and should
promote financial sustainability and creditworthiness.
The proposed monthly user rates should be considered equitable, affordable, and
competitive.
The proposed rate plan should not cause "rate shock" to customers. From a best financial
management practices standpoint, smaller incremental increases over time can help avoid
future rate shock and large "catch up" rate increases.
The proposed rates should enable the utility to perform the necessary capital improvements
and operational changes to remain compliant with the regulatory requirements of the Florida
Department of Environmental Protection and the Florida Department of Health.
The proposed user rates should provide the System with an adequate level of revenue
stability given the seasonality and cyclicality of water sales and corresponding billable sewer
• flow.
The City provided GovRates with detailed customer and sales information by customer
classification and service type.The billing information was used to develop bill frequency analyses
for the water system.These bill frequency analyses were used to develop a projection of detailed
billing determinants (i.e., water usage by rate block) which, along with the customer and sales
forecast, provides the basis for estimating utility rate revenues and projecting the effects of
proposed rate changes.

t- : Design of Proposed Monthly Wates:
In accordance with the rate design guidelines, customer forecast, projected net revenue
requirements, and discussions with the City staff, GovRates developed the proposed water user
rates shown in Table ES-1 of the executive summary of this report.The proposed monthly water
rates reflect:
Gradual increase of the percentage of revenue recovered through fixed/base charges.
Maintenance of the relationships among customer classes consistent with those recognized
in the 2016 rate study.
Adjustment of the water pass-through rate applied to all billed usage based on the latest data,
summarized in the following Exhibit 2-1:
Exhibit 2-1: Water System

Water Billed Sales (kgal) 6,295,515
Allowance for Non-Revenue Water 15.39%

Total Purchased Water Cost $13,354,434
Adjustment for DERM(6%) $14,206,844
Cost Per 1,000 Gallons $2.26
The proposed water rates are designed to generate the water revenue amounts needed during
the Forecast Period.

The proposed sewer rates are designed to generate the sewer revenue amounts needed during
the Forecast Period.
In order to provide the City with additional information regarding the current rates charged for
service,a comparison of the City's existing and proposed rates for customers served by a 5/8-inch
or 3/4-inch meter (representative of the single-family residential class and a large portion of the
commercial class) with charges for similar service by 29 neighboring utilities in southeast Florida
has been made. It should be recognized that a rate or bill comparison is not a "report card" on
how well a utility is performing.Several factors have an effect on the level of rates charged. These
factors may include, but are not limited to, the following:
1. Source of water supply and level of treatment required before the distribution of water to
the ultimate customer, including how much of water supply is purchased from other utilities;
2. Plant capacity utilization, age and assistance in the funding of such plant capacity by federal
grants, connection fees, etc.;
3. Overall size of the customer base (economies of scale)served as well as the type of customer
served (certain customers may have higher usage requirements which may dampen per unit
rates which is common for high commercial or industrialized customer bases for utilities);
4. Geographic density of the customer base (utilities with many high-density multifamily
customers may have lower unit costs);
5. General fund and administrative fee transfers made by municipal and county systems which
may account for differences in level of rates charged;
Page 392 of 1707 2-3
Cl" . 1 Water and Sewer Rate Study
6. Bond covenants and funding requirements of the rates; and
7. Level of capital improvements required to meet service area needs, including the
construction of growth-related assets in relation to service area expansion.
For the utilities included in the rate comparisons on Tables 2-1 through 2-3 at the end of this
section, no analysis has been made of the above-mentioned factors as they relate to the reported
water and sewer rates currently being charged by the other utilities surveyed for the purposes of
this rate review. However, the proposed water and sewer rates of the City produce bills that are
comparable/competitive with those of neighboring utilities.
Figure 2-1 at the end of this section shows a graphical comparison of how bills under the
proposed Fiscal Year 2021 rates compare with those of other "neighboring" utilities for a single
family residential customer with a monthly usage of 7,000 gallons — the historical average
monthly usage for a 5/8" or 3/4" meter customer in this class. As indicated in Figure 2-1, at the
7,000-gallon usage level,seven (7) utilities—the City of Lake Worth Beach,the City of Hollywood,
the City of Dania Beach, the City of Wilton Manors, the City of North Miami Beach, the City of
Oakland Park, and the Town of Davie — currently charge more for combined water and sewer
service than what the City would charge under the Fiscal Year 2021 proposed rates. Moreover,
it is important to note that the majority of the surveyed utilities are currently evaluating the
sufficiency of their water and sewer rates or have already scheduled future rate adjustments.
The City currently provides wholesale sanitary sewer service to the Village of Bal Harbour, the
Town of Bay Harbor Islands, and the Town of Surfside (previously defined as the "Satellite
Municipalities"). Pursuant to the agreement for service between the City and the Satellite
Municipalities, the wholesale rate is a volumetric-only rate which includes: i)the pass-through
of the cost of purchased sewer service from the County; ii) an allowance for transmission-related
operating expenses and administration; and iii) an allowance for the funding of renewals and
replacements. Based on our review,GovRates recommends wholesale rates of$4.0935 per 1,000
gallons of service for the wet season and $3.2129 per 1,000 gallons for the dry season ($3.6532
per 1,000 gallons average rate) effective in Fiscal Year 2021. The determination of this rate is
included on Table 2-6 at the end of this section, and the following is a summary discussion of the
cost components considered in the derivation of the wholesale sewer rate:
The Miami-Dade County wholesale sanitary sewer rate charged to the City for sanitary sewer
treatment and disposal service. For the Fiscal Year 2021,the County wholesale sanitary sewer
rate will be $3.7092 during the wet season and $2.8850 during the dry season, or an average
of$3.2971 per 1,000 gallons.

• An Operation and Maintenance charge to recover the City's costs of facilities shared with
each of the Satellite Municipalities— Booster Pump Stations No. 28 and 29 plus force mains
between the interconnection point for each of the Satellite Municipalities, the booster
stations, and the County mains. These costs were initially identified in a study performed by
CDM Smith, Inc., the results of which were summarized in their "City of Miami Beach 2007
Satellite City Wastewater Transmission Cost of Service Letter Report" dated December 6,
2007 (the "CDM Report"). The CDM Report identified operation and maintenance charges of
$0.0460 per 1,000 gallons for Booster Station 28 and $0.0520 for Booster Station 29. These
amounts have been indexed based on the historical change in the Miami-Fort Lauderdale-
West Palm Beach Index,the index utilized for most of the City's rates,fees,and charges. From
December 2007 to December 2019, this CPI factor has increased by 24.66%. The Operation
and Maintenance Expense Charge included in the rate for Fiscal Year 2021 was $0.1222 per
1,000 gallons based on the application of the index.
An Administration Fee of 1.5% as allowed per the City's agreements with the wholesale
customers.
A renewal and replacement allowance equal to 5% of the total rate to provide for the
recovery of depreciation expenses as allowed per the agreements with the Satellite
Municipalities.
Based on discussions with City staff,this methodology is proposed to be applied for deriving the
Fiscal Year 2021 wholesale sewer rate. The derivation of the proposed wholesale sewer rates for
the Satellite Municipalities as shown in Table 2-4 and summarized in the following Exhibit 2-3:

AN ORDINANCE OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF
THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, AMENDING CHAPTER
110 OF THE CODE OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH ENTITLED
"UTILITIES," ARTICLE IV, ENTITLED "FEES, CHARGES,
RATES AND BILLING PROCEDURE," AT SECTION 110-166,
ENTITLED "SCHEDULE OF WATER RATES AND TAPPING
CHARGES;" AT SECTION 110-168, ENTITLED "SANITARY
SEWER SERVICE CHARGE" ARE TO BE AMENDED; AND
CREATING SECTION 110-171, ENTITLED "RATE INDEXING,"
IN ORDER TO ADJUST AND MODIFY HOW WATER AND
SANITARY SEWER RATES ARE CALCULATED AND
APPLIED; AND ALSO AMENDING APPENDIX A TO
CHAPTER110, ENTITLED "FEE SCHEDULE" TO INCREASE
AND RESTRUCTURE THE WATER RATES AND SANITARY
SEWER SERVICE CHARGES IMPOSED BY THE CITY
PURSUANT TO SECTIONS 110-166, 110-168, AND 110-171;
PROVIDING FOR CODIFICATION; REPEALER;
SEVERABILITY; AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
WHEREAS, Chapter 110, of the Code of the City of Miami Beach, entitled "Utilities,"
establishes the City's potable water rates and how to calculate the rate and apply the rate to all
water users and the sanitary sewer rates and how to calculate the rate and apply the rate to all
sanitary sewer users; and
WHEREAS, the City's utility rates for water and sanitary sewer services are structured to
collect the necessary revenues to meet annual operating and maintenance costs of the water
and sanitary sewer infrastructure, to cover debt service for water and sewer bonds, to fund
capital improvements to the City's utility system infrastructure, maintain adequate operating fund
and capital reserves, and to pay Miami-Dade County Water and Sewer Department (WASD) for
wholesale water purchased and for the treatment of the collected City sewage; and
WHEREAS, WASD has historically raised the rates for wholesale water and sanitary
sewer to recover its cost of providing service and it is anticipated by WASD that it will continue
to raise the rates for service due operating expenditures and debt service increases and the
need to fund future capital improvements; and
WHEREAS, the City adopted Resolution No. 95-21585, as amended and supplemented
from time to time, which authorized the issuance of utility revenue bonds to finance capital
improvements to the utility system (herein after"System")which included a requirement that the
revenues of the System shall at all times meet the rate covenant requirements as delineated in
such resolution for the protection of the bondholders; and
WHEREAS, in addition to the above WASD rate increase, the City Commission directed
that the City review its utility rates and method of calculating the fees under Chapter 110; and
WHEREAS, the City retained the firm of Public Resources Management Group, Inc.
(PRMG)to assist in determination of revised water and sanitary sewer rates in order to meet the
projected expenditure and funding needs of the City's utility system as identified in the Fiscal
Year 2016/2017 budget; and
Page 1
Page 404 of 1707
WHEREAS, PRMG recommended revised rates and rate policies to be more consistent
with industry norms in the application of rates; promote water conservation and the most
efficient use of potable water; initiate a rate structure that over time will more adequately recover
the cost of service and promote the overall sustainability of the utility system; provide the ability
to adjust rates due to changes in the cost of wholesale water and wastewater service as
provided by WASD; and provide the ability to index the rates for inflation and other expenses to
provide utility operating margins to fund capital improvements and the repayment of debt issued
by the City in support of the funding of capital improvements; and
WHEREAS, in order to properly fund the City's water and sewer program, and to
implement the PRMG rate structure findings, so that the city can not only take into account the
actual WASD rate increases, but, also the other PRMG recommendations due to continued
inflation on the cost of providing water and sanitary sewer by the City, the City seeks to amend
Chapter 110, to codify and pass through to the residents the WASD rate increases; to index
rates annually to pass through to the residents increases in costs due to inflation on the cost of
operations and maintenance; and to incorporate an adjustment for operating expenses would
serve to keep the rate stabilization fund healthy and user fees consistent with the cost of
providing service; and
WHEREAS, during the August 29, 2014 meeting of the Finance and Citywide Projects
Committee (FCWPC), the Committee recommended approval of the pass through of the
respective water and sewer rate increases, as well as establishing a policy of automatically
implementing the percentage increases of water and sewer rates that are enacted by Miami-
Dade WASD to the entire fund without further Commission action; and
WHEREAS, the Committee also directed the Administration to follow up with all
appropriate administrative actions to assure that fees are commensurate with the cost of service
provided to the Satellite Cities; and
WHEREAS, the amendments set forth below are necessary to accomplish the above
objectives.
NOW THEREFORE, BE IT ORDAINED BY THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF
THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA:

Page 406 of 1707
(b)To the extent practical, all water delivered to a consumer shall be metered and shall be
billed the water consumption charge and the purchased water pass-through charge, which
rate shall be prorated for each 100 gallons in the event of increments of less than 1,000
gallons for all consumers of water. With respect to the billing for water use, the water
consumption rates and the purchased water pass-through rate as defined in this section
may be added together for rate application or billing purposes on a consumers bill.
lc) Pass-Through of Purchased Wholesale Water Charges. The Purchased Water Pass-through
Rate, which is applied to all water consumers being billed for potable water service, shall be
increased or decreased by the city by applying a pass-through adjustment factor for any
change in the average annual rates charged to the city for wholesale potable water
purchased from WASD (the "Water Pass-Through Adjustment") to the Purchased Water
Pass-through Rate charged by the city.
(1) Adjustment Schedule. The implementation of the adjustment to the Purchased
Water Pass-Through Rate for any month that a change in wholesale potable water
rates by WASD is effectuated ("Water Cost Recovery") shall occur without a public
hearing. Water Cost Recovery shall be employed each time that WASD adjusts the
average annual wholesale potable water rates that are billed to the city. Any
adjustment to the Purchased Water Pass-Through Rate based on the determination of
the change in wholesale rates shall be implemented in the month immediately following
the determination of the Purchased Water Pass-Through Adjustment. The Purchased
Water Pass-Through Rate as shown on Appendix A and as may be further adiusted
automatically in the future by the implementation of the provisions of this section and
which are then in effect shall be increased or decreased by the city by applying a
Purchased Water Pass-through Adjustment established in accordance with this
subsection to the then effective Purchased Water Pass-Through Rate prior to such
application. Nothing herein shall preclude the city from making additional changes to
the monthly water user rates for service,
(2) Applicability of Purchased Water Rates. The Purchased Water Pass-Through Rate
shall be in addition to any water consumption rates for all retail and wholesale
customers that are billed for potable water service by the city. The following are the
customers that shall be subject to the application of the Purchased Water Pass-through
Rate and shall be subject to the pass-through for changes in the cost of purchased
water from WASD (the"Applicable Customers"):
(i) The retail water customer classes that are billed the water consumption
charge referenced in this section.
(ii) All separate utilities or local governments that may receive wholesale potable
water service provided by the city currently or in the future which is not
considered as retail customers.
(3) Calculation of Purchased Water Pass-Through Adjustment. The Purchased Water
Pass-Through Adjustment shall be calculated using the following formula:
PWPTA = ((IWWC—PWWC)* (1 /(1-(DF+T+O))
Page 4
Page 407 of 1707
Where:
PWPTA = The Purchased Water Pass-Through Adjustment to be used for
Water Cost Recovery to determine the monetary adjustment in the
Purchased Water Pass-through Rate to be applied the Applicable
Customers. The PWPTA represents the respective dollar increase or
decrease to account for changes in wholesale potable water rates
charged by WASD to the city that is added or subtracted,
respectively to the Purchased Water Pass-Through Rate.
IWWC = The increased annual average wholesale or purchased water rate
charged by WASD expressed on a dollar per 1,000 gallons basis that
became effective for the month immediately after the PWWC.
PWWC = The prior annual average wholesale or purchased water rate charged
by WASD expressed on a dollar per 1,000 gallons basis immediately
prior to the billing of the adjusted wholesale or purchased water rate
defined as the IWWC.
DF = The fee paid to the Department of Environmental Resources
Management (DERM) which is based on a percent of rate revenues
billed by the city.
T = Any and all taxes or tax equivalents that may be paid by the water
system that is based on revenues billed by the city, including any
payment in lieu of tax imposed by the city on its water system.
0 = Any and all charges that may be paid by the city on behalf of the
water system that is based on revenues billed by the city, including
any funding of renewals and replacement fund deposits that is
determined as a percent of revenues billed.
(4) Determination of Purchased Water Pass-Through Rate. The Purchased Water
Pass-Through Rate shall be determined based on the addition or subtraction of the
Purchased Water Pass-Through Adjustment to the rates in effect immediately
preceding such adjustment and shall be rounded to the nearest cent. The Purchased
Water Pass-Through Adjustment application shall be based on the following formula:
APWTR = PWPTR+ PWPTA
Where:
APWTR = The Adjusted Purchased Water Pass-Through Rate that is to be
placed in effect after the application of the Purchased Water Pass-Through
Adjustment to all Applicable Customers billed for potable water service.
PWPTR = The Purchased Water Pass-Through Rate in effect immediately prior
to the application of the PWPTA.
Page 5
Page 408 of 1707
PWPTA = The Purchased Water Pass-Through Adjustment as determined as a
result of a change in wholesale water rates as billed by WASD.
(5) An example of the calculation of the determination of the Purchased Water Pass-
Through Adjustment and the corresponding change to the Purchased Water Pass-
Through Rate is illustrated in the following table:

Adiusted Purchased Water Pass-Through Rate($11,000 11=9+10 APWTR $1.95
gallons)
(d) Pass-Through Adjustment Charges. The Applicable Rates as shown on Appendix A and as
may be further adjusted automatically in the future by the implementation of the provisions
of this section and which are then in effect shall be increased or decreased by the city by
applying a pass-through adjustment factor established in accordance with this subsection
(the "Pass-Through Factor") to the then effective Applicable Rates for increases or
decreases in the Applicable Costs. All Applicable Rates so adjusted (the "Pass-Through
Rates")shall be charged by the city's water system.
(1) Adjustment Schedule. The implementation of Pass-Through Rates for any month
associated with a change in Applicable Costs ("Cost Recovery") shall be placed into
effect automatically and shall occur without a public hearing. Nothing herein shall
preclude the city from making additional changes to the monthly water user rates for
service.
(2) Applicable Rates. The water base facility, water consumption charges. and
Purchased Water Pass-through Rate referenced in subsection 110-166(a) shall be
subject to Cost Recovery.
(3) Applicable Costs. Only the following cost categories qualify as Applicable Costs for
Cost Recovery:
(i) All increases or decreases in the percentage charge of the Department of
Environmental Resources Management.
Page 6
Page 409 of 1707
(ii) All increases or decreases in the application of any tax or tax equivalents,
including any payment in lieu of tax imposed by the city on its water system.
(iii) All other cost increases incurred by the water system as a result of any
regulatory chances or requirements imposed by any regulatory agency
having jurisdiction over the utility system operations(a "Regulator')
(4) Calculation of Pass-Through Factor. The Pass-Through Factor shall be calculated
using the following formula:
PTF = ARR/ ER
Where:
PTF = The Pass-Through Factor used for Cost Recovery to determine
the monetary adiustment in the Applicable Rates. The PTF represents the
estimated annual increase in the Applicable Costs, expressed asa percentage of
the most recent historical revenues derived from the Applicable Rates for the most
recently completed fiscal year.
ARR = Additional Required Revenue equal to the estimated annual
change in the Applicable Costs that will affect the overall cost of providing water
system services as determined by the city.
ER = The total actual revenues earned by the Enterprise System from
the Applicable Rates for the potable water system as reported in the city for the
most recently completed fiscal year.
(5) Determination of Pass-Through Rates. The Pass-Through Rates shall be
determined based on the Pass-Through Factor applied uniformly to the Applicable
Rates in effect and shall be rounded to the nearest cent. The Pass-through
application shall be based on the following formula:
PTR = (AR)(1 + PTF)
Where:
PTR = The Pass-Through Rates that are to be placed in effect for the
current fiscal year through application of the Pass-Through Factor.
AR = The Applicable Rates in effect immediately prior to the application
of the Pass-Through Factor.
PTF = The Pass-Through Factor as determined by the city to recover the
net change in Applicable Costs.
Page 7
Page 410 of 1707
() On all water supply service, each month shall be a complete period in itself, and no excess
consumption of water during one month shall be charged
charge or be added to the consumption of any other month.
(1) Exception. The provisions contained in this subsection (e) shall not apply to an
owner or consumer of a single-family home that participates in the "budget billing"
process of the utility billing system. The "budget billing" process allows owners or
consumers to pay the same monthly amount for water and sewer consumption
based on the average of the previous annual consumption history. If the variance in
actual consumption becomes more than 50 percent of the annual consumption
average, the budgeted amount would be recalculated or the budget billing would
cease and regular billing would commence. To be eligible to use this "budget billing"
feature, the owner and/or consumer would have to submit an application to the
finance department for budget billing. After the approval of the finance department,
the budget billing would commence and would only cease upon written request by
the owner or consumer or the failure to pay the budget amount when the payment is
due.
`) A monthly base facility charge as shown on Appendix A shall be billed to all privately owned
fire-protection systems and equipment connected to the city water system in accordance
with the size of the service line connecting the private system to the city's system. All costs
of providing fire sprinkler service, including the service lateral, meter vault and detector
check meter shall be the applicant's responsibility. If any consumer shall connect any
appurtenance other than sprinkler heads to a fire service line, that consumer shall pay all
connection-related charges set out in this section and the monthly water service charges
identified in this section regarding service to customers delineated under the general service
designation.
(g) Upon the application of the owner or consumer for water service on the premises to which
there has not been made any previous service for water, the tapping charges as specified in
appendix A shall be made to cover the cost of the tap and the installation of the service to
the property line of the lot to be supplied with water service.
(he) Every owner or consumer making an application for water service shall be required to
make a deposit with the public works department'called a guarantee of payment deposit.
The amount of such deposit shall be according to the size of the service, as specified in
appendix A. If the owner or consumer making such deposit wishes the service to be
discontinued, the,guarantee of payment deposit shall be refunded less outstanding charges
for water, sewer, stormwater or garbage and waste. If at any time the total service charges
for a given account exceed the amount of the deposit, the city reserves the right to demand
an additional deposit up to four times the amount of any previous monthly bill on that
service.

The monthly sanitary sewer user rates shall be charged to each consumer each month in
accordance with the following applicability provisions;
(1) Individual Metered Residential Service — Applicable to all consumers that
represent service to a residential dwelling unit that is individually metered for water
service.
(2) Master-metered Multifamily Residential Service — Applicable to all sewer
consumers that represent service to a residential dwelling units that is master-
metered (more than one residential dwelling unit being served by the water meter
measuring service to the premise) which would include, but not be limited to,
condominiums, apartments, and duplexes.
(3) Non-residential Service — Applicable to all sewer customers that are not
classified as individually metered residential service or master-metered residential
service which primarily represents service to commercial, public authorities, and
institutional customers.
(b) To the extent practical, all sanitary sewer service provided to a consumer shall be based on
the metered water delivered to the premise, exclusive of water-only service which is
separately metered by the city, and shall be billed the sewer consumption charge and the
purchased sanitary sewer pass-through charge, which rate shall be prorated for each 100
gallons in the event of increments of less than 1,000 gallons for all consumers being billed
for sanitary sewer service. With respect to the billing for sanitary sewer use, the sewer
consumption rates and the purchased sanitary sewer pass-through rate as defined in this
section may be added together for rate application or billing purposes on a consumers bill.
(c)Pass-Through of Purchased Wholesale Sanitary Sewer Charges. The Purchased Sanitary
Sewer Pass-through Rate, which is applied to all sanitary sewer consumers being billed for
sewer service, shall be increased or decreased by the city by applying a pass-through
adjustment factor for any change in the rates charged to the city for wholesale wastewater
treatment and disposal services purchased from WASD (the "Sanitary Sewer Pass-Through
Adjustment")to the Purchased Sewer Pass-through Rate charged by the city.
(1) Adjustment Schedule. The implementation of the adjustment to the Purchased
Sanitary Sewer Pass-Through Rate for any month that a change in wholesale
sanitary sewer rates by WASD is effectuated ("Sewer Cost Recovery") shall occur
without a public hearing. Sewer Cost Recovery shall be employed each time that
WASD adjusts the average annual wholesale sanitary sewer rates that are billed to
the city. Any adjustment to the Purchased Sanitary Sewer Pass-Through Rate
based on the determination of the change in wholesale rates shall be implemented
in the month immediately following the determination of the Purchased Sanitary
Sewer Pass-Through Adjustment. The Purchased Sanitary Sewer Pass-Through
Rate as shown on Appendix A and as may be further adjusted automatically in the
future by the implementation of the provisions of this section and which are then in
effect shall be increased or decreased by the city by applying a Purchased
Sanitary Sewer Pass-through Adjustment established in accordance with this
subsection to the then effective Purchased Sanitary Sewer Pass-Through Rate
Page 10
Page 413 of 1707
prior to such application. Nothing herein shall preclude the city from making
additional changes to the monthly sanitary sewer user rates for service.
(2) Applicability of Purchased Sanitary Sewer Rates. The Purchased Sanitary
Sewer Pass-Through Rate shall be in addition to any sewer consumption rates for
all retail and wholesale customers that are billed for wastewater treatment and
disposal services by the city. The following are the customers that shall be subject
to the application of the Purchased Sanitary Sewer Pass-through Rate and shall be
subject to the pass-through for changes in the cost of purchased wastewater
treatment and disposal services from WASD (the"Applicable Customers"):
(i) The retail water customer classes that are billed the sewer consumption
charge referenced in this section.
(ii)All separate utilities or local governments that may receive wholesale
sewer service provided by the city currently or in the future which is not
considered as retail customers.
j3) Calculation of Purchased Sanitary Sewer Pass-Through Adjustment. The
Purchased Sanitary Sewer Pass-Through Adjustment shall be calculated using the
following formula:
PSPTA = ((IWWC—PWWC)` (1 /(1- (DF+T+O))
Where:
PSPTA = The Purchased Sanitary Sewer Pass-Through Adjustment to be
used for Sewer Cost Recovery to determine the monetary
adjustment in the Purchased Sanitary Sewer Pass-through Rate
to be applied the Applicable Customers. The PSPTA represents
the respective dollar increase or decrease to account for changes
in average annual wholesale wastewater rates charged by WASD
to the city that is added or subtracted, respectively to the
Purchased Sanitary Sewer Pass-Through Rate.
IWSC = The increased average annual wholesale or purchased sanitary
sewer rate charged by WASD expressed on a dollar per 1,000
gallons basis that became effective for the month immediately
after the PWSC.
PWSC = The prior average annual wholesale or purchased sanitary sewer
rate charged by WASD expressed on a dollar per 1,000 gallons
basis immediately prior to the billing of the adjusted wholesale or
purchased sewer rate by WASD.
DF = The fee paid to the Department of Environmental Resources
Management (DERM) which is based on a percent of rate
revenues billed by the city.
Page 11
Page 414 of 1707
T = Any and all taxes or tax equivalents that may be paid by the sewer
system that is based on revenues billed by the city, including any
payment in lieu of tax imposed by the city on its sanitary sewer
system.
0 = Any and all charges that may be paid by the city on behalf of the
sanitary sewer system that is based on revenues billed by the city.
including any funding of renewals and replacement fund deposits
that is determined as a percent of revenues billed.
(4) Determination of Purchased Sanitary Sewer Pass-Through Rate. The
Purchased Sanitary Sewer Pass-Through Rate shall be determined based on the
addition or subtraction of the Purchased Sanitary Sewer Pass-Through Adiustment
to the rates in effect immediately preceding such adjustment and shall be rounded
to the nearest cent. The Purchased Sanitary Sewer Pass-Through Adjustment
application shall be based on the following formula:
APSTR = PSTR + PSPTA
Where:
APSTR = The Adjusted Purchased Sanitary Sewer Pass-Through Rate that
is to be placed in effect after the application of the Purchased
Sewer Pass-Through Adjustment to all Applicable Customers
billed for wastewater service.
PSTR = The Purchased Sanitary Sewer ;Pass-Through Rate in effect
immediately prior to the application of the PSPTA.
PSPTA = The Purchased Sanitary Sewer Pass-Through Adiustment as
determined as a result of a change in wholesale wastewater rates
as billed by WASD,
(5) An example of the calculation of the determination of the Purchased Sanitary
Sewer Pass-Through Adjustment and the corresponding change to the Purchased
Sanitary Sewer Pass-Through Rate is illustrated in the following table:

(d) Pass-Through Adjustment Charges. The Applicable Rates as shown in Appendix A and as
may be further adjusted automatically in the future by implementation of the provisions of
this section and which are then in effect shall be increased or decreased by the city by
applying a pass-through adjustment factor established in accordance with this subsection
(the "Pass-Through Factor") to the Applicable Rates for increases or decreases in the
Applicable Costs. All Applicable Rates so adjusted (the "Pass-Through Rates") shall be
charged by the city's sanitary sewer system.
(1) Adjustment Schedule. The implementation of Pass-Through Rates for any
month associated with a change in Applicable Costs ("Cost Recovery") shall be
placed into effect automatically and shall occur without a public hearing. Nothing
herein shall preclude the city from making additional changes to the monthly
sanitary sewer user rates for service.
(2) Applicable Rates. The sewer base facility, sewer consumption charges, and
Purchased Sewer Pass-through Rate referenced in subsection 110-167(a) shall be
subject to Cost Recovery.
(3) Applicable Costs. Only the following cost categories qualify as Applicable Costs
for Cost Recovery:

sanitary sewer system.
(iii) All other cost increases incurred by the sanitary sewer system as a
result of any regulatory changes or requirements imposed by any regulatory
agency having jurisdiction over the utility system operations (a "Regulator").
(4) Calculation of Pass-Through Factor. The Pass-Through Factor shall be
calculated using the following formula:
PTF = ARR/ ER
Where:
PTF = The Pass-Through Factor used for Cost Recovery to determine
the monetary adiustment in the Applicable Rates. The PTF
represents the estimated annual increase in the Applicable Costs.
expressed as a percentage of the most recent historical revenues
derived from the Applicable Rates for the most recently completed
fiscal year.
ARR = Additional Required Revenue equal to the estimated annual
change in the Applicable Costs that will affect the overall cost of
providing sanitary sewer system services as determined by the
city.
ER = The total actual revenues earned by the Enterprise System from
the Applicable Rates for the sanitary sewer system as reported in
the city for the most recently completed fiscal year.
(5) Determination of Pass-Through Rates. The Pass-Through Rates shall be
determined based on the Pass-Through Factor applied uniformly to the Applicable
Rates in effect and shall be rounded to the nearest cent. The Pass-through
application shall be based on the following formula:
PTR = (AR)(1 + PTF)
Where:
PTR = The Pass-Through Rates that are to be placed in effect for the
current fiscal year through application of the Pass-Through Factor.

Sec. 110-171 Rate Indexing.
(a) Except as otherwise provided in this subsection, the monthly user rates established in
subsections 110-167(a) for the water system and 110-168(a) for the sanitary sewer system
(collectively, the "Applicable Rates") as shown on Attachment A and as may be further
adjusted automatically in the future by implementation of the provisions of this section and
which are then in effect shall be increased by the City each year by applying the price index
factor established for that year in accordance with this subsection (the "Price Index Factor")
to the then Applicable Rates to offset the effects of inflation on the cost of operating and
maintaining the system. The Rate Index shall never be less than 0.0%. All Applicable Rates
so adiusted (the "Indexed Rates") shall be implemented by the City.
(1) Adjustment Schedule. Each implementation of Indexed Rates ("Rate
Indexing") shall be placed into effect automatically and shall occur without a public
hearing. Rate Indexing shall not be employed more than once in any fiscal year.
Any Indexed Rates based on the operating and maintenance expenses for the
most recently completed fiscal year shall be implemented as of October 15` of the
subsequent fiscal year. Nothing herein shall preclude the City from making
additional changes to the water or wastewater rates for service.
(2) Applicable Rates. The water base facility charge and water consumption
charges referenced in subsections 110-167(a) for the water system and sanitary
sewer base facility charge and sanitary sewer consumption charges referenced in
subsections 110-168(a) for the sanitary sewer system shall be subiect to Rate
Indexing. The purchased water pass-through rate and the_purchased sanitary
sewer pass-through rates as referenced in the respective subsections shall not be
subject to Rate Indexing.
(3) Calculation of Price Index Factor. The Price Index Factor shall be determined
based on the actual reported financial results as contained in the annual
comprehensive annual financial report and the records for the most recently
completed fiscal year preceding the determination of the Rate Index (the
"Calculation Period"). By way of example, the Rate Index to be applied on October
1, 2017 would be based on the actual financial results for the twelve months ended
September 30, 2016. The Price Index Factor shall be calculated using the
following formula:
PIF = (FOP - (PWE + PSE + PT)1*EPI)/ 1(ER- PTR)/ * (1 /(1-(DF+T+O1))1
Where:
PIF = The Price Index Factor used for Rate Indexing to determine the monetary
adjustment in the Applicable Rates. The PIF represents the estimated
increase in operation and maintenance expenses during the Calculation
Period that is subject to inflation, expressed as a percentage of Applicable
Rates revenues earned during the Calculation Period. The amount of the
Rate Index increase is a component of any additional revenue required by
the Utility System to ensure compliance with the Bond Covenants and fiscal
requirements of the utility system (the "Additional Required Revenue").
Page 15
Page 418 of 1707
OP = The total expenses, paid or accrued. for the operations, maintenance, and
repair of the water and wastewater systems as reported in the
comprehensive annual financial report and other financial records for the
city for the Calculation Period after excluding: (a) allowances for
depreciation and amortization expense; and (b) capitalized salaries and
other overhead related to the city's Capital Improvement Program (CIP).
Such total expenses as adjusted for the stated exclusions are hereinafter
referred to as the"Operating Expenses".
PWE = That component of the Operating Expenses (OP) that represent the cost of
purchased water service from WASD for the Calculation Period, adjusted to
include the fee paid to the Department of Environmental Resources
Management (DERM) which is based on a percent of rate revenues billed
by the city for this component of expense.
PSE = That component of the Operating Expenses (OP) that represent the cost of
purchased sanitary sewer service from WASD for the Calculation Period,
adiusted to include the fee paid to the Department of Environmental
Resources Management (DERM) which is based on a percent of rate
revenues billed by the city for this component of expense.
PT = The sum of all other components of the Operating Expenses (OP) for the
Calculation Period for which increases in those components may be
recovered separately as a pass-through adjustment pursuant to
subsections 110-167(d) for the water system and 110-168(a) for the
wastewater system.
EPI = The Consumer Price Index—All Urban Consumers, Miami-Fort Lauderdale,
as published by Bureau of Labor Statistics (the "Effective Price Index") as
reported for the month of April of the current year compared to the index
reported for the immediately preceding month of April. By way of example,
the Effective Price Index published by Bureau of Labor Statistics — All
Urban Consumers, Miami-Fort Lauderdale, as of April 2015 was 245.195
and as of April 2016 was 248.741 or a change of 1.446% which shall be
applied to the applicable Operating Expenses reported for Fiscal Year
2015.
ER = The total actual revenues earned by the Utility System from the Applicable
Rates as reported in the comprehensive annual financial reports and other
financial records for the Calculation Period.
PTR = The total actual revenues earned by the Utility System during the
Calculation Period from the application of i) the Purchased-Water Pass-
Through Rate; ii) the Purchased-Wastewater Pass-Through Rate; and iii)
any other expense that was categorized as a pass-through expense and
separately evaluated.

APPENDIX A TO CHAPTER 110, ENTITLED "FEE SCHEDULE" TO INCREASE
AND RESTRUCTURE THE WATER RATES AND SANITARY SEWER SERVICE
CHARGES IMPOSED BY THE CITY PURSUANT TO SECTIONS 110-166, 110-
168, AND 110-171; PROVIDING FOR CODIFICATION; REPEALER;
SEVERABILITY;AND AN EFFECTIVE DATE.
RECOMMENDATION
The Administration recommends the City Commission adopt such rates to enable collecting revenues
sufficient to cover the cost of operating, maintaining, repairing and financing the water and sewer
enterprise funds. The Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Department (WASD) proposed a sewer rate
increase to all wholesale customers of$.1598 for sewer per 1000 gallons effective October 1, 2016.
In order to further the City goal of sustainability, the Administration is recommending that we transition
to a conservation rate structure consistent with the guidance and recommendations of the South
Florida Water Management District and approving the Ordinance on Second Reading Public Hearing.
ANALYSIS
The City's utility rates for water and sanitary sewer services are structured to collect the
necessary revenues to meet annual operating and maintenance costs of the infrastructure, to
cover debt service for water and sewer bonds, to maintain adequate operating fund reserves,
and, to pay Miami-Dade County for wholesale water purchased, the treatment of the City's
sewage and other fees.
In general, the rates for water supply and sanitary sewer services are based on full cost
recovery principles and consist of:
Page 178 of 692 •
Page 436 of 1707
• Pass-through of the wholesale rate the City pays to Miami-Dade County for the purchase of
potable water and treatment of sewage;
• Debt service for the Water and Sewer Revenue Bonds;
• Operating and maintenance costs for the water and sewer utility; 8 % fee-of previous year
total revenue paid to the Miami-Dade County Environmental Resource Management Department
(DERM).
•
Public Resources Management Group, Inc. ("PRMG") was asked to evaluate the current rate
structure and propose alternative (redesigned) rates as necessary to recover the costs of
providing service given the target monthly user rate revenues for the Fiscal Year 2016/17 for
consideration by the City Commission which will incentivize conservation of valuable water
resources, meet industry standards regarding cost recovery/rate application to its customers,
and maintain rate reasonableness among customers.
The Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Department has informed all wholesale customers that the
proposed water rate for FY2016/17 will remain unchanged. WASD has also notified wholesale
customers that their proposed sewer rate will be $2.9477, an increase of $0.1598 above the
current rate of $2.7879 per 1000 gallons. The cost of the proposed FY2016/17 sewer rate
increase to Miami Beach is approximately $2,926,000. The proposed WASD wholesale water
and sewer rates are subject to approval by the Board of County Commissioners at their Public
Budget Hearings, scheduled for September 8 and September 22, 2016.
Based on their review of the City's existing rates and projected rate revenues, billing statistics
and operating costs, and understanding the City desire to enact a conservation rate, the
recommended rate structure adjustments are listed below.
A) Implementation of water and wastewater monthly base facility charges for the residential
class.
B) Implementation of water and wastewater monthly base facility charges for the general
services class (commercial, master-metered residential, government, etc.) that increase based
on meter size to recognize the diverse capacity (demand) characteristics among such
customers which is consistent with utility rate structure norms and structures recommended by
the Florida Public Service Commission(FPSC).
C) Removal of the minimum water flow in the water minimum service charges to promote
conservation and provide a pricing structure where water consumption charges are based solely
on the amount of water a consumer uses:
D) Implementation of tiered water rates to incentivize water conservation to those customers
with discretionary water use(i.e., individually metered residential and irrigation customers); and
E) Provide a cost recovery mechanism to promote long-term rate sustainability by the
implementation of a purchased water and wastewater pass-through and price index rate
adjustment.
Water Revenue Review and Recommendation
All operational expenditure increases related to the proposed cost of living adjustment to
salaries, increased costs of health insurance and pension, and increases in other operating
costs can be absorbed without the requirement to increase the water rate. PRMG is proposing
to modify the monthly billing to consist of: I) a base facility charge which serves as the monthly
minimum service charge on each service installed,based upon the size of the meter installed in
accordance with the standards of the Public Works Department; ii)a water consumption charge;
and iii) a purchased water pass-through adjustment rate to recover the cost of purchased water
Rage 179 of 692
• age 437 of 1707
as billed by the Miami-Dade Water and Sewer Department (WASD).The monthly water user
rates charged for service have been proposed and may be adjusted from time to time.
PRMG also recommends that a monthly base facility charge be billed to all privately-owned fire
protection systems and equipment connected to the city water system based on the size of the
service line connecting the private system to the Citys system. These systems provide fire
protection and are not metered. The recommended monthly base facility charges are as
follows:
Proposed Fire Protection Fees By Meter Size
Base Facility Charge (per meter size) Rate
2-inch $9.34
3-inch 17.18
4-inch 26.00
6-inch 50.50
8-inch 79.90
10-inch 114.20
The derivation of these charges are based on the methodology utilized by the Florida Public
Service Commission (the "FPSC") in the regulation of private utilities that is often applied by
public utilities in the State of Florida. In accordance with Section 25-30.465 of the Florida
Administrative Code:
25-30.465 Private Fire Protection Rates.
The rate for private fire protection service shall be a charge based on the size of the
connection rather than the number of fixtures connected.The rate shall be one-twelfth the
current base facility charge of the utility's meter sizes, unless otherwise supported by the
utility.
Sewer Revenue Review and Recommendation
A significant portion of the sewer rate revenue requirement consists of the WASD charges for
sewer treatment which has increased by six percent or approximately$3 million and DERM fees
of approximately $400,000. The debt service is also proposed to increase by $2.5 million.
Similar to the water rate, the revenue requirements will be met utilizing a base facility charge
which will serve as the monthly minimum service charge, a consumption charge, and WASD
pass through charges.
Based on the rate determination methodology established, PRMG also recommends the City
should increase the wastewater wholesale rates charged to the Village of Bal Harbour, the Town
of Bay Harbor Islands, and the Town of Surfside (collectively, the "Satellite Cities") from
$3.1050 to$3.2705 per 1,000 gallons of service effective October 1, 2016.

COMMITTEE MEMORANDUM
TO: Finance and Economic Resiliency Committee Members
FROM: Jimmy L. Morales, City Manager
DATE: February 28,2020
SUBJECT: DISCUSSION REGARDING A FINANCIAL PLAN FOR THE WATER AND SEWER SYSTEM MASTER PLAN
HISTORY:
Public infrastructure serves as the backbone of a well-run municipality. Typically, as infrastructure ages and the needs of a growing
city expand, existing infrastructure requires rehabilitation and upgrades. Such is the case with the City's water and sewer utility.
Recognizing the increasing need to strategically invest in the water and sewer utility, the Public Works Department tasked Hazen
and Sawyer with developing a Water and Sewer Master Plan that prioritizes projects over 25 years.
At its October 23, 2019 Sustainability and Resiliency Committee (SRC) meeting, Public Works staff provided the members of the
Committee a progress update on the Water and Sewer Master Plan.The Administration stated it has reviewed the plan and is ready
for the Finance and Economic Resiliency Committee (FERC) (formerly the Finance and Citywide Projects Committee) for review
and to further discuss a financing plan.
The SRC Committee made a motion to refer the Water and Sewer System Master Plan to the FERC to identify funding sources.
ANALYSIS:
The proposed five year critical needs capital plan for the City's water and wastewater system is summarized below.

Water Meter Replacement
$ 11,104,893 $ 11,104,893
TOTAL $ 122,237,819
This plan reflects the utility's needs as defined by the Water and Sewer Master Plans and internal renewal and replacement plans.
As seen above,the plan accounts for an investment of$122.3 Million, of which approximately$37.5 Million is funded.An additional
$24 Million of unencumbered water and sewer bond funds have been identified. If these funds were appropriated toward the
proposed five year critical needs capital plan,there would remain a funding gap of approximately$61 Million.
When planning the sequencing of projects, staff often takes into account work within the projects' proximity and, when beneficial,
projects are grouped into larger neighborhood jobs.Approximately$37 Million of the overall$122.3 Million plan have been identified
as independent projects. Independent projects generally include aerial pipe crossings, subaqueous pipelines, or other work that lies
outside neighborhood boundaries. Thus, some projects within the Water and Sewer Critical Needs Five Year Capital Plan may fall
within the boundaries of possible neighborhood jobs. However, due to the criticality of these projects, the Administration may
proceed with their design and/or construction prior to the start of a neighborhood job.
It is important to note that this plan only includes the critical needs defined in the Water and Sewer Master Plans and does not
encompass general water and sewer work, which may occur as part of the City's neighborhood jobs.The cost and scope of water
and sewer work within neighborhood jobs will be quantified upon completion of the Jacobs Engineering Neighborhood Priority List.
In order to facilitate further discussion, the Water and Sewer Five Year Priority Lists are attached herein. Within the lists, a column

identifies which projects are independent from larger neighborhood jobs.
The estimates presented herein are for planning and budgeting purposes;the actual costs will be determined when the projects are
fully designed and bid.
Regionally there is a growing need to reinvest in utility infrastructure. The failure to reinvest in utility infrastructure has resulted in
neighboring communities having had numerous water main breaks and sewerage spills resulting in one community being fined$1.8
million by state regulators.These projects are needed to reduce the risk of similar events happening in the City of Miami Beach.
CONCLUSION:
The Administration recommends approval of the five-year critical needs capital plan for the City's water and wastewater system,and
approval of the$24 Million available from bond proceeds.Additionally,the Administration recommends commencing a rate study of
the water and wastewater utility to determine financial capacity for the water and wastewater work associated with the Jacobs
Engineering neighborhood prioritization and the remaining$61 Million dollars of critical needs.

9. DISCUSSION REGARDING A FINANCIAL PLAN FOR THE WATER AND SEWER SYSTEM MASTER
PLAN
January 15, 2020— C4 A
Public Works
ACTION
Roy Coley, Public Works Director, presented the item. He explained that recently the Public Works
Department supported by our consultant Hazen and Sawyer has developed a water and wastewater system
master plan.That plan included a complete mapping of our system, developing hydraulic models of our water
and wastewater and an assessment of the condition of our system components. That assessment was
developed both by using age techniques and visual inspection. They have ultimately delivered a 25-year
master plan to us. More importantly the consultant helped us to develop a 5-year plan of critical components
that must be addressed. The reason they are calling them critical components is that they are components
due to their age or actual condition and are at a higher likelihood of failure. He went through the presentation
about the 5-year plan and talked about the sewer critical needs and water system critical needs. He explained
that from their professional opinions the needs are not want to do's, they are must do's. If we don't do these
items, we will have a higher risk of catastrophic failures such as Fort Lauderdale is experiencing. He
explained they are asking the Committee to authorize the unallocated portion of our water and sewer bond
money from 2017 towards these efforts. There is roughly$24 million that has not been allocated for anything
else. We already had a substantial amount of money set aside for these needs because as we have been
developing this plan with Hazen and Sawyer we have been setting aside money. Staff is asking to allocate
the rest of the money towards this plan and authorize them to reach out to the rate consultants to help
determine what the current rate structure will support in financial capacity to raise additional funds because
we are still going to be about$61 million short, if the Committee authorizes everything been asked for today.
We will have enough money to proceed until about 2021 if the Committee authorizes everything being asked
for today, we will have to raise money going into 2022 to be on track. He pointed out that the dollar amount
presented was developed during planning phases, none of this work has been designed yet and certainly
don't have bids for it, he asked the Committee to view these numbers as planning level estimates that are
likely to be higher or lower depending on the conditions they find.
Commissioner Samuelian said they heard this at the Land Use and Sustainability Committee and gave a
favorable recommendation. Some of it is just absolutely must do work. He asked if we have ever done
anything like this before.
Roy Coley said he is not aware of it, but in the last 5 years that he has been with the City we have spent
about $50 million on water and sewer needs as we have been working on our neighborhood improvement
projects. The plan was at that time was that we would do the improvements as we went neighborhood to
neighborhood and a big portion of this is that we have to attack this whether we go into the neighborhoods
or not.
•
Page UU4)643T07
Commissioner Samuelian said we have to do this, and we are doing a little bit of catch up from previous
decades. He is supportive of staffs recommendation, his only request is that if and when we move forward
a little bit around timing, as the next version comes he would like to know about specific start dates, our best
estimates of end dates, and then some periodic reporting maybe to this Committee or Land Use quarterly
and after a few rounds give an update by LTC. He thinks we need to get on with this and we need to move
as expeditiously as possible.
Commissioner Richardson mentioned that he noticed several items on the list are for 2020. He asked if those
are included in the current 2020 budget.
Roy Coley said they are either funded in this year or partially funded. The Commission also approved 1 or 2
months ago an odor control system as part of the wastewater system. So many of them are funded in this
year's budget.
John Woodruff, Chief Financial Officer, said he would meet with Roy Coley and go through the items in detail
and determine which ones we have funding for and which ones are eligible for the bonds funds and then
prepare a budget amendment if there was a need to, to move some money around to match the latest
schedule. In 2017, we went out with a big water and sewer bond for about $80 million, there is an unspent
amount there. They can go through that and make sure we can utilize those funds. They will double check
everything and be able to go back to Commission if needed.
Roy Coley reiterated that staff is looking for the Committee's favorable recommendation to the Commission
as a whole to authorize the use of the uncommitted bond funds towards this critical plan, roughly$24 million.
Commissioner Richardson said he is okay with it but would like John Woodruff to go through the projects
and when this goes back to the Commission, they would like to know that the projects that are going to utilize
that money are authorized.
John Woodruff said that would be the first step, to make sure all of our bond documents, whatever we
committed to in there is consistent with that. They are usually written broad enough so he is pretty optimistic
about that. Second, there are some water and sewer projects that we would try to time with the stormwater
underground projects as well. What this does is in theory if that project prioritization takes a little longer, we
are going to prioritize this first. If we need to commit more funds toward the stormwater related projects, we
may have to speed up a rate increase a little faster than we otherwise would.
Roy Coley said Hazen and Sawyer was also our engineer for that water and sewer bond, they provided the
engineers report for the 2017 bond, they also built this plan, so if there are any questions on that we would
reach out to them and ask them to opine on that appropriateness because they are already familiar with both
requirements. He also mentioned that 100% of this is playing catch up, we have been spending the last few
years chasing what we thought were emergency conditions that were nonstop. All of these are probably
things that should have been addressed over the last decade.
Staff will try to bring this to the March Commission meeting, if not the April Commission meeting.
Commissioner Samuelian confirmed that it sounds like they have consensus on the $24 million, we will
investigate the rate for the remaining gap. He reiterated that on the next iteration he would like start dates,
end dates, some periodic reporting.
MOTION: Commissioner Samuelian moved the item as recommended by the Administration. Commissioner
Richardson seconded. All in favor.
DIRECTION: Come back quarterly to the FERC meetings with updates.

OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, ACCEPTING THE RECOMMENDATION OF
THE FINANCE AND ECONOMIC RESILIENCY COMMITTEE AT ITS
FEBRUARY 28, 2020 MEETING, TO ACCEPT THE FIVE-YEAR CRITICAL

AND WASTEWATER UTILITY TO DETERMINE FINANCIAL CAPACITY FOR
THE WATER AND WASTEWATER WORK ASSOCIATED WITH THE
JACOBS ENGINEERING NEIGHBORHOOD PRIORITIZATION AND THE
REMAINING$61 MILLION DOLLARS OF CRITICAL NEEDS.
RECOMMENDATION
The Administration recommends acceptance of the five-year critical needs capital plan for the
City's water and wastewater system, and approval of the $24 Million available from bond
proceeds, subject to a future appropriation. Additionally, the Administration recommends
commencing a rate study of the water and wastewater utility to determine financial capacity for the
water and wastewater work associated with the Jacobs Engineering neighborhood prioritization
and the remaining $61 Million dollars of critical needs.
BACKGROUND/HISTORY
Public infrastructure serves as the backbone of a well-run municipality. Typically, as infrastructure
ages and the needs of a growing city expand, existing infrastructure requires rehabilitation and
upgrades. Such is the case with the City's water and sewer utility.
Recognizing the increasing need to strategically invest in the water and sewer utility, the Public
Works Department tasked Hazen and Sawyer with developing a Water and Sewer Master Plan
that prioritizes projects over 25 years.
At its October 23, 2019 Sustainability and Resiliency Committee (SRC) meeting, Public Works
staff provided the members of the Committee a progress update on the Water and Sewer
Master Plan. The Administration stated it has reviewed the plan and was ready for the Finance
and Economic Resiliency Committee (FERC) (formerly the Finance and Citywide Projects
Page 545 of 1097
Page 449 of 1707
Committee)for review and to further discuss a financing plan.
The SRC Committee made a motion to refer the Water and Sewer System Master Plan to the
FERC to identify funding sources.
ANALYSIS
The proposed five year critical needs capital plan for the City's water and wastewater system is
summarized below.

This plan reflects the utility's needs as defined by the Water and Sewer Master Plans and internal
renewal and replacement plans. As seen above, the plan accounts for an investment of$122.3
Million, of which approximately $37.5 Million is funded. An additional $24 Million of
unencumbered water and sewer bond funds have been identified. If these funds were
appropriated toward the proposed five year critical needs capital plan, there would remain a
funding gap of approximately$61 Million.
When planning the sequencing of projects, staff often takes into account work within the projects'
proximity and, when beneficial, projects are grouped into larger neighborhood jobs.
Approximately$37 Million of the overall $122.3 Million plan have been identified as independent
projects. Independent projects generally include aerial pipe crossings, subaqueous pipelines, or
other work that lies outside neighborhood boundaries. Thus, some projects within the Water and
Sewer Critical Needs Five Year Capital Plan may fall within the boundaries of possible
neighborhood jobs. However, due to the criticality of these projects, the Administration may
proceed with their design and/or construction prior to the start of a neighborhood job.
It is important to note that this plan only includes the critical needs defined in the Water and
Sewer Master Plans and does not encompass general water and sewer work, which may occur
as'part of the City's neighborhood jobs. The cost and scope of water and sewer work within
neighborhood jobs will be quantified upon completion of the Jacobs Engineering Neighborhood
Priority List.

In order to facilitate further discussion,the Water and Sewer Five Year Priority Lists are attached
herein. Within the lists, a column identifies which projects are independent from larger
neighborhood jobs.
The estimates presented herein are for planning and budgeting purposes;the actual costs will be
determined when the projects are fully designed and bid.
Regionally there is a growing need to reinvest in utility infrastructure. The failure to reinvest in
utility infrastructure has resulted in neighboring communities having had numerous water main
breaks and sewerage spills resulting in one community being fined $1.8 million by state
regulators. These projects are needed to reduce the risk of similar events happening in the City
of Miami Beach.
At its February 28, 2020 meeting, the Finance and Economic Resiliency Committee made a
motion to proceed to the full Commission to seek acceptance•of the five-year critical needs
capital plan for the City's water and wastewater system, and approval of the $24 Million available
from bond proceeds subject to a future appropriation.Additionally,the Committee recommended
commencing a rate study of the water and wastewater utility to determine financial capacity for the
water and wastewater work associated with the Jacobs Engineering neighborhood prioritization
and the remaining$61 Million dollars of critical needs.
CONCLUSION
The Administration recommends accepting the recommendation and adoption of the Resolution.

RESOLUTION NO.' 2014-28830
A RESOLUTION OF THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION OF THE CITY OF
MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, ACCEPTING THE RECOMMENDATION OF THE
CITY MANAGER TO REJECT ALL PROPOSALS RECEIVED, PURSUANT TO
REQUEST FOR PROPOSAL (RFP) NO. 2014-091-SW, FOR INVESTMENT
ADVISORY SERVICES, AND AUTHORIZING THE ADMINISTRATION TO
RELEASE AN INVITATION TO NEGOTIATE (ITN) FOR INVESTMENT
ADVISORY SERVICES.
WHEREAS, on May 21, 2014, the Mayor and City Commission approved Resolution No.
2014-28587 (the "Resolution") accepting the recommendation of the City Manager pertaining to
the ranking of proposals, pursuant to Request for Proposals (RFP) No. 2014-091-SW for
Investment Advisory Services, and authorized the Administration to enter into negotiations with
the top-ranked proposer, First Southwest and, should the Administration not be successful in
negotiating an agreement with the top-ranked proposer, authorized negotiations with the tied
second-ranked proposers, Davidson Fixed Income Management and Public Trust Advisors,
LLC; and
WHEREAS, following approval of the Resolution, the City's Finance Department
attempted to negotiate an agreement with the top-ranked proposer, First Southwest; and
WHEREAS, the parties were unable to come to mutual agreement with regard to the
fees to be paid by the City under the agreement; and
WHEREAS, prior to initiating negotiations with the second-ranked proposers, it
became apparent that since the issuance of the RFP the amount of City investments to be
managed is expected to increase significantly; and
WHEREAS, this would significantly affect the City's ability to negotiate a cost-effective
agreement for investment advisor services under the current RFP; and
WHEREAS, the proposals received pursuant to the RFP did not consider that the
amount of the stated investments to be managed did not reflect the significant capital financing
now planned for FY2014/15, FY2015/16, and FY2016/17, which is expected to surpass one
billion dollars; and
WHEREAS, the Administration also believes it is important to provide an
opportunity for proposers, through a competitive solicitation process, to offer value added
services which could reduce City cost, or provide additional services and efficiencies to the
City given the now planned investments for FY2014/15, FY2015/16, and FY2016/17; and
WHEREAS, to that end, the Administration recommends terminating
negotiations and rejecting all proposals under the current RFP process and allow the
Administration to revise the scope of services to be included in a future solicitation to include
the City's planned investments, as well as incorporate an opportunity for proposers to provide
value added services to the City; and
WHEREAS, following the rejection of proposals and termination of the current
RFP process, the Administration recommends releasing a subsequent Invitation to Negotiate
(ITN), which will provide the City the opportunity to negotiate with multiple firms
simultaneously.
Page 453 of 1707
NOW, THEREFORE, BE IT RESOLVED BY THE MAYOR AND CITY COMMISSION
OF THE CITY OF MIAMI BEACH, FLORIDA, that the Mayor and City Commission hereby
accept the recommendation of the City Manager to reject all proposals received, pursuant to
Request For Proposal (RFP) No. 2014-091-SW, for investment advisory services, and authorize
the Administration to release an Invitation To Negotiate (ITN) for investment advisory services.

average, the budgeted amount would be recalculated or the budget billing would
cease and regular billing would commence. To be eligible to use this "budget
billing" feature, the owner and/or consumer would have to submit an application

to make a deposit with the public works department called a guarantee of payment
deposit. The amount of such deposit shall be according to the size of the service, as
specified in appendix A. If the owner or consumer making such deposit wishes the
service to be discontinued, the guarantee of payment deposit shall be refunded less
outstanding charges for water, sewer, stormwater or garbage and waste. If at any
time the total service charges for a given account exceed the amount of the deposit,
the city reserves the right to demand an additional deposit up to four times the amount
of any previous monthly bill on that service.
(i) A request by the owner or consumer to have the water meter re-read for validation of
the correctness of a meter reading will result in a fee in accordance with the schedule
set forth in appendix A. This fee will be charged only if the re-read validates the
accuracy of the reading in question.
(j) A request by the owner or consumer to have a special water meter read at a time
other than a normally scheduled read date as set by the utility will result in a fee in

The monthly water and sewer user rates for Fiscal Years 2021 to 2025 are based on the
recommendations of a formal rate study completed in 2020. The water user rates are designed to
increase water revenues by 3.5% per year, while the sewer user rates are designed to increase
sewer revenues by 1.5% to 1.6% per year. On a combined basis, the monthly user rates are
designed to increase overall utility revenues by 2.3% to 2.4% per year. These increases are in
addition to the pass-through of future wholesale water and sewer rate increases from the Miami-

[C] = Pass-Through of Purchased Wholesale Water Charges and Rate Indexing.
Pass-Through of Purchased Wholesale Water Charges. The Purchased Water
Pass-Through Rate, which is applied to all water consumers being billed for potable
water service, shall be increased or decreased by the city by applying a pass-
through adjustment factor for any change in the average annual rates charged to the
city for wholesale potable water purchased from the Miami-Dade Water and Sewer
Department ("WASD") to the Purchased Water Pass-Through Rate charged by the
city (the "Purchased Water Pass-Through Adjustment").
(1) Adjustment schedule. The implementation of the adjustment to the Purchased
Water Pass-Through Rate for any month that a change in wholesale potable
water rates by WASD is effectuated ("Water Cost Recovery") shall occur
without a public hearing. Water Cost Recovery shall be employed each time
that WASD adjusts the average annual wholesale potable water rates that are
billed to the city. Any adjustment to the Purchased Water Pass-Through Rate
based on the determination of the change in wholesale rates shall be
implemented in the month immediately following the determination of the
Purchased Water Pass-Through Adjustment. The Purchased Water Pass-
Through Rate as shown ein Appendix A and as may be further adjusted
automatically in the future by the implementation of the provisions of this
section and which are then in effect shall be increased or decreased by the city
by applying a Purchased Water Pass-Through Adjustment established in
accordance with this subsection to the then effective Purchased Water Pass-
28
Page 482 of 1707
Through Rate prior to such application. Nothing herein shall preclude the city
from making additional changes to the monthly water user rates for service.
(2) Applicability of Purchased Water Rates. The Purchased Water Pass-Through
Rate shall be in addition to any water consumption rates for all retail and
wholesale customers that are billed for potable water service by the city. The
following are the customers that shall be subject to the application of the
Purchased Water Pass-through Rate and shall be subject to the pass-through
for changes in the cost of purchased water from WASD (the "Applicable
Customers"):

PWPTA = ((IWWC - PWWC) * (1/(1-(DF + T + 0)))
Where:
PWPTA = The Purchased Water Pass-Through Adjustment to be used for
Water Cost Recovery to determine the monetary adjustment in the
Purchased Water Pass-through Rate to be applied the Applicable
Customers. The PWPTA represents the respective dollar increase or
decrease to account for changes in wholesale potable water rates charged
by WASD to the city that is added or subtracted, respectively to the
Purchased Water Pass-Through Rate.
IWWC = The increased annual average wholesale or purchased water rate
charged by WASD expressed on a dollar per 1,000 gallons basis that became
effective for the month immediately after the PWWC.
PWWC = The prior annual average wholesale or purchased water rate
charged by WASD expressed on a dollar per 1,000 gallons basis immediately
prior to the billing of the adjusted wholesale or purchased water rate defined
as the IWWC.
DF = The fee paid to the Department of Environmental Resources
Management (DERM)which is based on a percent of rate revenues billed by
the city.
T=Any and all taxes or tax equivalents that may be paid by the water system
that is based on revenues billed by the city, including any payment in lieu of
tax imposed by the city on its water system.
29
Page 483 of 1707
O = Any and all charges that may be paid by the city on behalf of the water
system that is based on revenues billed by the city, including any funding of
renewals and replacement fund deposits that is determined as a percent of
revenues billed.
(4) Determination of Purchased Water Pass-Through Rate. The Purchased Water
Pass-Through Rate shall be determined based on the addition or subtraction
of the Purchased Water Pass-Through Adjustment to the rates in effect
immediately preceding such adjustment and shall be rounded to the nearest
cent. The Purchased Water Pass-Through Adjustment application shall be
based on the following formula:
APWTR = PWPTR + PWPTA
Where:
APWTR = The Adjusted Purchased Water Pass-Through Rate that is to be
placed in effect after the application of the Purchased Water Pass-Through
Adjustment to all Applicable Customers billed for potable water service.
PWPTR =The Purchased Water Pass-Through Rate in effect immediately
prior to the application of the PWPTA.
PWPTA = The Purchased Water Pass-Through Adjustment as determined
as a result of a change in wholesale water rates as billed by WASD.

which are then in effect shall be increased by the city each year by applying the price
index factor established for that year in accordance with this subsection (the "price
index factor") to the then applicable rates to offset the effects of inflation on the cost
of operating and maintaining the system. The Rate Index shall never be less than
0.0%. All applicable rates so adjusted (the "indexed rates") shall be implemented by
the city.
(1) Adjustment schedule. Each implementation of indexed rates ("rate indexing")
shall be placed into effect automatically and shall occur without a public
hearing. Rate indexing shall not be employed more than once in any fiscal year.
Any indexed rates based on the operating and maintenance expenses for the
most recently completed fiscal year shall be implemented as of October 1 of
the subsequent fiscal year. Nothing herein shall preclude the city from making
additional changes to the water or wastewater rates for service.

Roy Coley, Public Works Director, showed a short presentation to explain the rates. Click here to view.
What they are presenting to the City Commission today is a five-year critical infrastructure plan
contained within in $122 million. This is the work that has been going on for the past five years. When
they began this evaluation, they knew there was a lot of work to be done, and the report shows that
they need to do more. He explained that the $122 million plan is paid back with Pay-As-You Go
Page 41 of 102
Page 498 of 1707
After Action November 18, 2020 City of Miami Beach
City Commission Meeting
Funding. They identified, with John Woodrufl's help, that they have existing 2010 Sewer Bonds that
are now called and refinanced this year, and with those bonds and the net present value today of
about$12 million, they combined with Reserves to get$23 million.The$48 million comes from existing
bond money, and that makes them $52 million short over five years. To get the $122 total, they need
to go to the Bond Market next year, and to pay for that, they would have to increase the City's utility
rates. For 2021, starting in January, water and sewer rates average increase would be 2.4%, and the
proceeding years through 2025, the rate would be increased 2.3% plus it may be adjustment that the
County pass through to the City. An average residential customer in the City that uses 7,000 gallons
of water per month, would see their bill go up $4.29 per month, and then the impact goes through the
following year. He explained the legislative history of the item and directives given, and recommended
approval of the Ordinance on First Reading, setting a Second Reading Public Hearing for December
9, 2020 of the proposed scheduled water and sewer rates through years 2025.
Mayor Gelber asked for Roy to explain, in terms of the infrastructure, if this is a catch up, a going
forward, or both.
Public Works Director Roy Coley explained that in his view the $122 million is primarily catch-up from
decades of lack of renewal, replacement, and maintenance. The entire 25-year plan totals $328
million, and a portion of that would be prudent rehabilitation and maintenance. If they do not do this
work and if they do not prosecute it as fast as they can,the risk of catastrophic failure exists and grows
every day.
Mayor Gelber urged his colleagues to ask questions and asked how long would the City be paying this
out to make these infrastructure improvements, and will that follow them through what they need in
infrastructure improvements, or will the City in ten or 20 years have to do more or do something else
to raise money, and what impact will this have on people.
Public Works Director Coley explained that this would be 20 year bonds from a financial point, to be
paid in 20 years, so it is reasonable to assume that at the end of 20 years, they will have other financial
needs of the water and wastewater system that today are not critical but may be in 20 years, and the
money would continue to be used. In addition to the $4.29 per household per month that this impacts
the citizens, they are going to see construction work, rebuilding sewer pump stations, replacing water
lines with construction and they are mindful of that.They work closely with Kevin Pulido, Neighborhood
Communications Affairs Manager, to keep neighbors informed but they will see improved water
pressure and less sewer backup during flood events.
Commissioner Arriola congratulated Roy on the presentation and is supportive of the item. They want
to make sure they have the proper infrastructure to handle the basic needs of the City. He hopes his
colleagues are supportive. At County level because of decades of delays, the estimate to do this was
$10 billion, so local governments will have to wrestle with this, and he wants Miami Beach to lead in
this area for future generations.
Assistant City Manager Alina Hudak is not sure about the exact number but the County was under a
Consent Decree and they had to negotiate with the Department of Justice and mitigate the impact of
a Consent Decree. She added that the way this is being proposed mitigates the impact to residents
and creates an opportunity to smooth out the increase to residents.
Discussion held.
Commissioner Richardson fully supports this item and highlighted what Aline said,-that this smooths
out increases in rate.They need to be proactive and address these issues; otherwise, it would be more
costly, and he is supportive.

After Action November 18, 2020 City of Miami Beach
City Commission Meeting
Commissioner Gongora stated that the refinancing of the bonds saving millions of dollars is great, and
clearly, they need to move forward with the water and sewer work they are doing. This is about how
the City is funding those repairs. His concern is that it is 2.3% increase over five years, or 11.5%
increase on people water and sewer bills,just from the City, they do not know what is coming from the
County as a pass through rate, so on top of the 11.5% over five years it could be double that or more
from the County, and that could make it hard for people that are having a hard time making ends meet.
They are charging towards the high-end, the second highest charging municipality as far as water and
sewer rates with this increase. This is about funding at this point. Did the City look at other funding
mechanisms besides the rate increase onto residents? Are there other funding sources other than
having residents having to pay the increase?
Public Works Director Coley stated that they are not aware of a funding source suitable for this, and
asked Rafael Paz to explain, but when they made this plan, the assumption for the fund was for
stormwater projects, and they did not consider it, but that is a policy decision and they will follow
direction.
Rafael Paz, Deputy City Attorney, clarified that the Interlocal Agreement funds could be used for any
capital projects. The City Commission has made the decision to restrict the funds for resiliency
purposes, that was the intent and the conversations with the County, but it is not limited to sea-level
rise, it can be used for other capital projects.
Commissioner Gongora wants to do the work but he is not sure how much the increase is going to be
to the average homeowner, and he wants to make sure they pursue every other funding source before
pushing the rate increase to residents. They do not know what the County is doing and how much
water and sewer increase the residents are going to see.
City Manager Morales explained that they did not look at the South of Fifth money because they
thought it was for sea-level rise only, as they did not have that information, but that is a pot that is
available. He added that to the extent they use that money for water and sewer, then is less money
for the stormwater utilities; it is one or the other. He emphasized that these are critical projects, and
DEP is cracking down on cities that are not investing in infrastructure, and these are important projects.
Whether they want to take this money or not, eventually the rates are going to increase. They can look
at those funds, but those are probably the only funds they have that they can use for it.
Commissioner Steinberg added that the can was kicked down the road a long time ago, because the
images of rotting pipes underneath is unacceptable, so they need to do something about it on First
Reading and make a decision if they want to move forward with infrastructure projects and pull the
trigger. No one wants to vote for an increase in rates but they need to look at what is important. She
recommended using all available funds to enhance quality of life for residents, even if that means
changing her vote on something else to release fund, she will do that. Between First and Second
Reading, perhaps in January, she requested the Administration to bring actual numbers, understand
what available funds there are, and see if there is a way to amend some of the increase so that is not
at the level seen. They need to do something and focus on what the City is spending funds and the
actual needs of the City and find a mechanism on which to get them done.
Commissioner Richardson stated that Rafael Paz said that the other funds could be used, but they
were committed for sustainability, and asked who had made that commitment.
Rafael Paz, Deputy City Attorney, explained that those were discussions with the County and early
drafts of the Interlocal Agreement had the restriction for sea-level rise only, but in the final agreement
the language was broader, and it is referenced in the Memorandum, that they will use the funds for
Page 43 of 102
Page 500 of 1707
After Action November 18, 2020 City of Miami Beach
City Commission Meeting
sea-level rise or other projects in the City. The City Commission subsequently has restricted the funds
for sea-level rise purposes, and that would be why staff would not look at using the funds, as there
was a policy decision in place to limit those funds for sea-level rise, but for the strict contract issue,
the funds could be used for other purposes.
Commissioner Richardson stated that legally they can use it, but the commitment was that it would be
used for sustainability, and he shares Jimmy's comment that this is "Rob Peter to pay Paul" situation.
Today they had $73 million and they have allocated a piece of that, and to Commissioner Steinberg's
point, that was a Voice vote, and unless there is a motion to reconsider that vote is over. If they are
now going to take some of that money out of that pot for this fund from stormwater, they are going to
have stormwater projects that are not going to get done, so it seems like it is a tough decision but he
made a motion.
Motion made by Commissioner Richardson to adopt the Resolution, seconded by Commissioner
Arriola.
Commissioner Gongora stated that there is no doubt that they need to do this critical work identified
by staff and agreed that some of it is catch up work. He has a hard time with this because they voted
for $666,000 for the matching grant fund; he is not sure if he would vote for that if he could offset
people's water and sewer rates; the $400,000 from the General Fund for the College Football event,
he is not sure he would vote for that if he could ensure that the people's water and sewer rates stay
down. He does not like the item as it was presented as if the rate increase has to happen, and he does
not think that it is true, they can identify funds available, and see if this is a necessity or just the easiest
way of doing it.
Commissioner Steinberg stated that stormwater is also interconnected to sea level rise, and asked
that between First and Second, they do everything she stated previously. She is willing to reconsider
the earlier item next month as this is too important to address, and all funds ultimately go for quality of
life. She will support on First Reading, but directed Administration to come back with actual dollars,
make sure they use all available funds they deemed appropriate and determine the proper increase.
CFO Woodruff commented that when looking at rates in the water and sewer fund, and the stormwater
rates, if they had comparative information,they would be the highest in the stormwater rates; and they
are in the mid to higher end on the water and sewer rates. For those reasons they have trying to
protect the stormwater funding in the now Resiliency Fund to smooth out the inequities of how the
stormwater rates work. That is one lens they use as they try to balance the different issues.
Commissioner Richardson remembers a chart discussed at Finance and Economic Resiliency
Committee where they were with water with rates versus other communities and requested to have
that information to share with the Body for Second Reading. If they take money out of a pool of money
to reduce something, then they have to raise money for stormwater, so these are all valid points, and
the item has been moved and seconded. He asked staff to look at the issue and be more even
prepared if that is possible at the next cycle.
Mr. Coley showed the Comparison of Monthly Charges chart shared at Finance and Economic
Resiliency Committee and shows how they stack up by neighborhood. He pointed out that the chart
depicts each community represented, those with a star indicate that they are going through a rate
survey and rate analysis to determine what their rates should be.
Commissioner Richardson requested John Woodruff to prepare a similar chart on stormwater on
Second Reading. John Woodruff to handle.

Mayor Gelber added that things get kicked down the road and things need to catch up, but they will
have an enormous amount of stormwater cost over the next 20 years, and the program is not funded,
so where that money comes from, how they spend it or who pays for it is a big issue for them. Part of
the challenge is that they have done a lot of work already, others have not even started, so at some
point they need to be transparent with the public and let people know that this is what they need to do
and what it might cost. It is not fair to have someone else catch up.
Commissioner Richardson will work with the Administration, as Sponsor of the Ordinance, to make
sure they are prepared to discuss the item on Second Reading.

XI. FORCE MAJEURE
51. "Force Majeure," for purposes of this Consent Decree, is defined as any event
arising from causes beyond the control of Miami-Dade, of any entity controlled by Miami-Dade,

obligation under this Consent Decree despite Miami-Dade's best efforts to fulfill the obligation.
The requirement that Miami-Dade exercise"best efforts to fulfill the obligation" includes using
best efforts to anticipate any potential force majeure event and best efforts to address the effects
of any such event(a) as it is occurring and(b)after it has occurred to prevent or minimize any
resulting delay to the greatest extent possible. "Force Majeure" does not include Miami-Dade's
financial inability to perform any obligation under this Consent Decree. Where any compliance
obligation under this Consent Decree requires Miami-Dade to obtain a Federal, State, or local
permit or approval, Miami-Dade should submit timely and complete applications and take all
other actions required by law to obtain all such permits or approvals. Miami-Dade may seek
relief under the provisions of this Section XI of this Consent Decree (Force Majeure) for any
delay in the performance of any such obligation resulting from a failure to obtain, or a delay in
obtaining, any permit or approval required to fulfill such obligation to the extent that Miami-
Dade has submitted timely and complete applications and has taken all other actions required by
law to obtain all such permits or approvals.
52. If any event occurs or has occurred that may delay the performance of any
obligation under this Consent Decree, whether or not caused by a Force Majeure event,Miami-

Dade shall provide notice orally or by electronic or facsimile transmission to EPA and FDEP as
set forth in Section XVII(Notices),within seventy-two (72)hours of when Miami-Dade first
knew that the event might cause a delay. Within fourteen(14) Days thereafter, Miami-Dade
shall provide in writing to EPA and FDEP an explanation and description of the reasons for the
delay;the anticipated duration of the delay; all actions taken or to be taken to prevent or
minimize the delay; a schedule for implementation of any measures to be taken to prevent or
mitigate the delay or the effect of the delay; Miami-Dade's rationale for attributing such delay to
a force majeure event if it intends to assert such a claim; and a statement as to whether, in the
opinion of Miami-Dade, such event may cause or contribute to an endangerment to public health,
welfare or the environment. Miami-Dade shall include with any notice all available
documentation supporting the claim that the delay was attributable to a force majeure event.
Failure to comply with the above requirements shall preclude Miami-Dade from asserting any
claim of Force Majeure for that event for the period of time of such failure to comply, and for
any additional delay caused by such failure. Miami-Dade shall be deemed to know of any
circumstance of which Miami-Dade, any entity controlled by Miami-Dade, or Miami-Dade's
contractors knew or should have known.
53. If EPA, after a reasonable opportunity for review and comment by FDEP, agrees
that the delay or anticipated delay is attributable to a Force Majeure event,the time for
performance of the obligations under this Consent Decree that are affected by the Force Majeure
event will be extended by EPA, after a reasonable opportunity for review and comment by
FDEP, for such time as is necessary to complete those obligations. An extension of the time for
performance of the obligations affected by the force majeure event shall not, of itself, extend the

Case 1:12-cv-24400-FAM Document 25-1 Entered on FLSD Docket 06/06/2013 Page 80 of
101
time for performance of any other obligation. EPA will notify Miami-Dade in writing of the
length of the extension, if any, for performance of the obligations affected by the Force Majeure
event.
54. If EPA, after a reasonable opportunity for review and comment by FDEP, does
not agree that the delay or anticipated delay has been or will be caused by a Force Majeure
event, EPA will notify Miami-Dade in writing of its decision.
55. If Miami-Dade elects to invoke the dispute resolution procedures set forth in
Section XII(Dispute Resolution), it shall do so no later than fifteen(15)Days after receipt of
EPA's notice. In any such proceeding,Miami-Dade shall have the burden of demonstrating by a
preponderance of the evidence that the delay or anticipated delay has been or will be caused by a
Force Majeure event, that the duration of the delay or the extension sought was or will be
warranted under the circumstances, that best efforts were exercised to avoid and mitigate the
effects of the delay, and that Miami-Dade complied with the requirements of Paragraphs 51 and
52 above. If Miami-Dade carries this burden,the delay at issue shall be deemed not to be a
violation by Miami-Dade of the affected obligation of this Consent Decree identified to EPA and
the Court.
XII. DISPUTE RESOLUTION
56. Unless otherwise expressly provided for in this Consent Decree,the dispute
resolution procedures of this Section shall be the exclusive mechanism to resolve disputes

negotiations shall not exceed twenty(20)Days from the date the dispute arises,unless that
period is modified by written agreement between the United States and Miami-Dade. The

States and Miami-Dade cannot resolve a dispute by informal negotiations,then the position
advanced by the United States shall be considered binding unless,within forty-five(45)Days
after the conclusion of the informal negotiation period,Miami-Dade invokes formal dispute
resolution procedures as set forth below.
58. Formal Dispute Resolution. Miami-Dade shall invoke formal dispute resolution
procedures,within the time period provided in the preceding Paragraph,by serving on the United
States and FDEP a written Statement of Position regarding the matter in dispute. The Statement
of Position shall include,but need not be limited to, any factual data, analysis, or opinion

Dade. The United States shall serve its Statement of Position within one hundred(100) Days of

and any supporting documentation relied upon by the United States. The United States shall

opinion, or documentation, and shall set forth the relief requested and any schedule within which
the dispute must be resolved for orderly implementation of the Consent Decree. The United
States shall respond to Miami-Dade's motion within the time period allowed by the Local Rules
of this Court. The United States shall consult with FDEP during preparation of its response.

APPENDIX A
Adequate Pumping, Transmission and Treatment Capacity Program Criteria
(A). Definitions. Whenever the terms set forth below are used in this Appendix, the
following definitions shall apply:
(i). High Annual Monthly Average ("HAMA") shall mean the largest value
within the last twelve(12)Months of the monthly daily average pump operating time for each
Pump Station. Miami-Dade will be granted one exemption per twelve (12)-Month period for any
monthly average exceeding the fifteen(15)hours per day if the high hours were caused by a
maintenance problem that has been addressed and resolved.
(ii). Sewer Extension shall mean any sewer project that requires either a general
or individual construction permit as defined by the current edition of Chapter 62-604 of the
Florida Administrative Code.
(iii). Yearly Nominal Daily Average Pump Operating Time ("NAPOT") for each
Pump Station shall be defined as the average of daily average pump operating time for all
Months falling within the previous 365 days, divided by one less than the total number of pumps
installed in that station. The pump hours shall be based on metered running time or derived from
power used by station pump motors. As an alternative to the elapsed running time meters on the
pumps in a Pump Station, the monthly average daily pump operating hours for Pump Stations
with multi-speed and variable speed pumps may be determined based on the average power
consumption of the pumps in the station over the previous reporting period. For multi-speed
Pump Stations, the station shall be determined to have a monthly daily average pump operating
time value of 10.00 hours per day if the power usage for the previous month was equal to forty-
six percent(46%) of the power that would be used by all of the station pumps but one running at
1
Page 604 of 1707
Case 1:12-cv-24400-FAM Document 25-2 Entered on FLSD Docket 06/06/2013 Page 2 of 11
full rated power for the reporting period. The actual monthly daily average pump operating time
value will be determined on a linear proportional basis from the actual power used by the pumps
during the previous month. For stations with variable speed pumps, the equivalent daily average
pump operating time shall be determined based on the power used and the type of variable speed
drive as follows:
(a). For Pump Stations driven by variable frequency drives, the equivalent
10.00 hours per day monthly daily average pump operating time shall be reached when the Pump
Station uses in one Month forty-nine percent(49%)of the power used by all of the station pumps
but one running at full rated power for the reporting period.
(b). For Pump Stations driven by magnetic variable speed drives,the
equivalent 10.00 hours per day monthly daily average pump operating time shall be reached
when the Pump Station uses in one Month sixty-five percent(65%) of the power used by all of
the station pumps but one running at full rated power for the reporting period.
(c). For Pump Stations driven by resistor bank variable speed drives,the
equivalent 10.00 hours per day monthly daily average pump operating time shall be reached
when the Pump Station uses in one Month sixty-one percent(61%) of the power used by all of
the station pumps but one running at full rated power for the reporting period.
(iv). Yearly Projected Nominal Daily Average Pump Station.Operating Time
("Projected NAPOT") shall be defined as the Yearly Nominal Daily Average Pump Operating
Time plus the calculated additional operating hours expected as a result of all anticipated sewage
flow resulting from all previously authorized additional sewer flows.

Case 1:12-cv-24400-FAM Document 25-2 Entered on FLSD Docket 06/06/2013 Page 3 of 11
(B). Additional Sewer Flows Authorization. Miami Dade shall authorize only those
additional sewer flows in accordance with the Code of Miami-Dade, as amended, and as
provided for below:
(i). No Miami-Dade or municipal officer, agent, employee, or board shall
approve, grant or issue any building permit,certificate of use and occupancy (except for changes
in ownership) or Local Business Tax Receipt(LBTR),municipal occupational license (except
for changes in ownership) for any land use served or to be served by a publicly or privately
owned or operated sanitary sewer collection system prior to obtaining a sanitary sewer
certification of adequate capacity. A sanitary sewer certification of adequate capacity shall be
issued after demonstrating that the receiving collection and transmission system, and the
treatment plant(s),have adequate capacity, as defined herein,to handle the additional flow. The
sanitary sewer certification of adequate capacity is subject to the following conditions:
(a). When associated with a building permit or other permit that
authorizes construction(herein collectively"a construction permit"):
(1). A sanitary sewer certification of adequate capacity obtained prior
to an application (including applicable forms and plans) for a construction permit being
submitted shall expire and be null and void and be of no further force and effect unless an
application for a construction permit is submitted and a process number obtained from the
building department or permit issuing department within ninety(90) days from the date of the
sanitary sewer certification of adequate capacity is issued. If an application for building permit
is submitted,the sanitary sewer certification of adequate capacity shall thereafter expire in
accordance with subparagraphs(B)(i)(a)(2) and(3)below.
3
Page 606 of 1707
Case 1:12-cv-24400-FAM Document 25-2 Entered on FLSD Docket 06/06/2013 Page 4 of 11
(2). A sanitary sewer certification of adequate capacity obtained
subsequent to an application (including applicable forms and plans)for a construction permit
being submitted shall expire and be null and void and be of no further force and effect when the
application for the construction permit expires.
(3). When a construction permit is issued with a sanitary sewer
certification of adequate capacity,the sanitary sewer certification of adequate capacity shall
expire and be null and void and be of no further force and effect within one hundred-fifty(150)
days of the construction permit expiration unless said permit is renewed or replaced.
In all other events,the sanitary sewer certification of adequate capacity shall expire after one
hundred-eighty(180) days or upon the issuance of the certificate of use or certificate of
occupancy or other use authorization.
(C). Adequate Treatment Capacity Criteria. Adequate treatment capacity shall be
demonstrated by Miami-Dade's certification that the WWTP that will receive flow from newly
authorized additional sewer flow will not be in "non-compliance" as defined in 40 C.F.R. Part
123.45,App. A, at the time the WWTP receives the flow from the newly authorized additional
sewer flow.
(D). Adequate Transmission Capacity Criteria. Adequate transmission capacity shall
mean that each Pump Station receiving the additional sewer flow, and all Pump Stations through
which such sewage flow is transmitted to the WWTP receiving the flow, is operating with a
Projected NAPOT equal to or less than ten(10)hours per day. If the above condition is not met
by a booster type station, the station will be considered to have adequate transmission capacity if
so determined by a peak capacity study conducted by Miami-Dade that takes into consideration
4

Case 1:12-cv-24400-FAM Document 25-2 Entered on FLSD Docket 06/06/2013 Page 5 of 11
adjacent Pump Stations and downstream force mains. Transmission capacity certifications
authorizing additional sewer flows shall be issued according to the following criteria:
(i). For projects with an existing connection to sewers or connecting to an
existing collection system and therefore not requiring a sewer extension permit in the public right
of way:
(a). If there is adequate transmission capacity, as defined in subparagraph
(A)(iii)above, for all Pump Stations through which sewage flow from the sewer service
connection is transmitted to the wastewater treatment facility receiving such sewage flow,
certification can be granted without restrictions, or
(b). If adequate transmission capacity does not exist, as defined in
subparagraph(A)(iii) above,unrestricted certification can be granted only if all of the following
conditions are met for all Pump Stations through which sewage flow from the sewer service
connection is transmitted to the wastewater treatment facility receiving such sewage flow:
(1). The proposed flows will cause an increase equal to or less than
0.5 hours per day to the Projected NAPOT and,
(2). after including the additional proposed flows,the Projected
NAPOT will be equal to or less than twelve(12)hours per day and,
(3). the additional proposed flows are less than 10,000 GPD and,
(4). the Pump Station is not out of compliance due to sanitary sewer
overflows.
(ii). For projects requiring a sewer extension in the public right-of-way within an
existing Pump Station basin:
5
Page 608 of 1707
Case 1:12-cv-24400-FAM Document 25-2 Entered on FLSD Docket 06/06/2013 Page 6 of 11
(a). If adequate transmission capacity exists at the Pump Station and all
Pump Stations through which sewage flow from the sewer service connection is transmitted to
the WWTP receiving such sewage flow, certification can be granted without restrictions only if:
(1). the new project Average Daily Flow is equal to or less than 1,000
GPD or,
(2). the HAMA for all Pump Stations through which sewage flow
from the sewer service connection is transmitted to the WWTP receiving such sewage flow is
equal to or less than fifteen (15)hours per day or,
(3). the HAMA for any Pump Stations through which sewage flow
from the sewer service connection is transmitted to the WWTP receiving such sewage flow is
greater than fifteen(15)hours per day but a peak capacity study conducted by Miami Dade, that
takes into consideration adjacent Pump Stations and downstream force mains,has determined
that the new flows can be accommodated without any upgrades to the system and no sanitary
sewer overflows have occurred in the station's basin within the previous twelve (12)months;
(b). If adequate transmission capacity exists but the HAMA is greater
than fifteen(15)hours per day for any Pump Stations through which sewage flow from the sewer
service connection is transmitted to the WWTP receiving such sewage flow and a peak capacity
study conducted by Miami Dade,that takes into consideration adjacent Pump Stations and
downstream force mains,has determined that the new flows can only be accommodated after the
system has been upgraded and/or one or more sanitary sewer overflows of 1,000 gallons or more
have occurred in last twelve (12)months, certifications will be conditioned to:
(1). Completion of the required upgrade and/or
6
Page 609 of 1707
Case 1:12-cv-24400-FAM Document 25-2 Entered on FLSD Docket 06/06/2013 Page 7 of 11
(2). Implementation of measures to prevent the reoccurrence of
sanitary sewer overflows.
(iii). For projects requiring a new collection system,Pump Station and Force
Main, a peak capacity study conducted by Miami Dade,that takes into consideration adjacent
Pump Stations and downstream force mains,will determine under what conditions the new
system is allowed to connect to the Miami-Dade's transmission system.
(E). SSO Criteria. Notwithstanding Miami-Dade's ability to demonstrate capacity in
accordance with the terms and conditions of paragraphs (C)and(D) above,Miami-Dade shall
not authorize any additional sewer flows to the collection system if:
(i). SSOs have occurred in the receiving Pump Station's basin or in a Force Main
that is required to receive the flow from the Pump Station that fall under the following criteria:
(a). There is a reported SSO of 1,000 gallons or more, or a reported SSO
that reaches surface water, in the station's collection basin caused by a lack of capacity in the
collection piping or the Pump Station,until the capacity of the system is changed to prevent a
future overflow.
(b). There are two or more reported SSOs of 1,000 gallons or more each,
or two or more reported SSOs that reach surface water,within the last twelve (12) Months
caused by blockages in the collection piping for the Pump Station,until a remedial plan directed
at preventing the reoccurrence of these overflows has been implemented.Notwithstanding the
foregoing, additional sewer flows may be allowed if the receiving portion of the collection
system is not located upstream from those areas of the collection system that have experienced
five (5)or more SSOs due to blockages within the previous twelve(12)Months.
7
Page 610 of 1707
Case 1:12-cv-24400-FAM Document 25-2 Entered on FLSD Docket 06/06/2013 Page 8 of 11
(c). There are two or more SSOs of 1,000 gallons or more each, or two or
more reported SSOs that reach surface water, within the last twelve (12)Months in a force Main
required to receive the flow from the Pump Station due to failure of the Force Main pipe, until a
remedial plan directed at preventing the reoccurrence of these overflows has been implemented.
SSOs caused by contractor activities will not be considered for this item.
(ii). The newly authorized sewer service connection may reasonably be expected
to cause Miami-Dade to violate the effluent limitations in the NPDES permit for the WWTP that
will receive the flow from the newly authorized sewer service connection; or
(iii). The WWTP that will receive flow from the newly authorized sewer service
connection is in"non-compliance" as defined in 40 C.F.R. Part 123.45,App. A.
(F). Adequate Transmission and Treatment Capacity Certification Report. Miami-Dade
shall certify on a monthly schedule that adequate transmission and treatment capacity exists until
the termination of this Consent Decree. Miami-Dade shall certify that adequate transmission and
treatment capacity exists (as defined in this Appendix)to receive flow for each newly authorized
sewer service connection, and shall prepare on a monthly basis in an electronic file a summary
report which identifies each newly authorized certification of available capacity, and which shall
include, at a minimum, the following information:
(i). The date of approval of the newly authorized certification of available
capacity.
(ii). The address and the precise point of discharge to the collection system of the
newly authorized certification of available capacity.
(iii). The estimated volume of wastewater projected to be discharged from the
newly authorized certification of available capacity.

from the newly authorized certification of available capacity.
(vii). The description of the source or use(e.g. restaurant, dwelling unit) for the
newly authorized certification of available capacity.
(viii). Whether the issuance of a building permit was dependent on a collection
system improvement.
(G). Pump Station Operating Time Report. Miami Dade shall certify on a monthly basis,
the following information as to each of the collection system Pump Stations:
(i). Pump Station number.
(ii). Pump Station location.
(iii). NAPOT for the previous 365 days.
(iv). Projected NAPOT based upon accumulated authorized flows.
(v). HAMA for the previous 365 days.
(H). Remedial Action Plan Requirement. Where the certification required by paragraph
(G) above indicates that Miami Dade's Pump Station(s)' NAPOT(actual or projected)exceeds
the capacity criteria set forth in paragraphs (C), (D)and (E)above:
(i). Miami-Dade shall prepare,within thirty (30) days of the certification required
by paragraph (G) above, a remedial action plan that sets forth a program that will ensure
adequate transmission capacity,and provide a schedule for completion of that program.
(ii). When a Pump Station has been reported as having inadequate capacity,and a
remedial action plan has been provided, conditional flow allocations may be made to the Pump
9
Page 612 of 1707
Case 1:12-cv-24400-FAM Document 25-2 Entered on FLSD Docket 06/06/2013 Page 10 of 11
Station with the condition that no certificate of occupancy or use may be issued for the facility
until Miami Dade or the VSC has certified that the proposed remedial action plan has been
completed.
(iii). When a remedial action plan for a Pump Station has been certified as
complete by Miami-Dade or the VSC,the Pump Station will be monitored for one (1)year. If,
during this period,the most recent monthly report of station operating hours is less than ten (10)
hours per day,the station will be listed as having adequate capacity. If, during this period, the
most recent monthly report of station operating hours is greater than ten (10)hours per day,the
station will be listed as not having adequate capacity. If it is shown at the end of this period that
the remedial action plan has not provided a remedy to the condition causing the station to be
listed as having inadequate capacity,the station will again be listed as having inadequate
capacity. In this event, no additional sewer flows shall be authorized, and no building permit(s)
shall be issued, until adequate treatment and transmission capacity can be demonstrated as
specified in paragraphs(C),(D) and (E) above. Pump Stations or portions of a collection system
that are out of compliance due to SSOs will also be monitored for one (1) year after completion
of a remedial action plan. If within this period,the station experiences one (1) SSO of 1,000
gallons or more, or that reaches surface water, the station will again be listed as having
inadequate capacity. In this event,no additional sewer flows shall be authorized, and no building
permit(s)shall be issued,until adequate treatment and transmission capacity can be demonstrated
as specified in paragraphs(C), (D) and(E) above.
(I). Exemption. Notwithstanding the terms and conditions of paragraphs(B), (C), (D)
and(E) above, Miami-Dade may authorize new additional sewer flows without the required
certifications of adequate treatment and transmission capacity in those cases where a pollution or

CHAPTER 1. INTRODUCTION
1.1 Purpose of this Guide
This guide identifies some of the criteria used by EPA to evaluate a collection system's management,
operation, and maintenance(CMOM)program activities. The guide is intended for use by EPA and state
inspectors as well as the regulated community—owners or operators of sewer systems collecting
domestic sewage as well as consultants or other third-party evaluators or compliance assistance
providers. Collection system owners or operators can review their own systems by following the
checklist in Chapter 3 to reduce the occurrence of sewer overflows and improve or maintain compliance.
The guidance herein may also be taken a step further. If a federal or state reviewer observes a practice
that does not effectively meet the elements of a CMOM program,he or she may make recommendations
to educate the operator, inspector, case developer, or those involved in a settlement agreement.
Additionally,having key board members (policy makers)read this guide will also allow them to better
understand the benefits of investing in good CMOM programs.
The guide is applicable to small, medium, and large systems;both publicly and privately owned
systems; and both regional and satellite collection systems. Regardless of size, each owner or operator
will have an organization and practices unique to its collection system. While these specific
characteristics will vary among systems,the CMOM concepts and best management practices are likely
to apply to all types of systems. Where appropriate,this document provides guidance on the differences.
This document does not,however, substitute for the CWA or EPA's regulations,nor is it a regulation
itself. Thus, the document does not and cannot impose legally binding requirements upon these
circumstances. EPA and state decision-makers retain the discretion to adopt approaches on a case-by-
case basis that differ from this guidance where appropriate. EPA may change this guidance in the future.
Individuals reviewing a collection system are strongly encouraged to read the guidance portion of this
document prior to conducting a review. Reviewers should use the checklist in Chapter 3 as the primary
tool for questions during the paperwork and/or onsite review of the collection system.
While some sections or topics may not appear to relate directly to environmental performance,taken as
a whole, they provide an indication of how well the utility is run.
1.2 Terminology
To provide a more user-friendly guidance and for clarification,the terminology for several terms has
been modified. The following paragraphs list these terms and reasoning for the modifications.
Frequently,the term"COLLECTION SYSTEM OWNER OR OPERATOR", abbreviated as "OWNER
OR OPERATOR," is used in this guide and refers to the entities responsible for the administration and
oversight of the sewer system and its associated staff(in either a municipal or industrial context);
capacity evaluation, management, operation, and maintenance programs; equipment; and facilities. The
owner and operator may be two different entities. For example,the owner may own the infrastructure
and be responsible for its maintenance while it designates responsibility for the day to day operation of

Guide for Evaluating CMOM Programs at Sanitary Sewer Collection Systems
the system to the operator. It should be noted that the term used in EPA's CMOM Program Self
Assessment Checklist is "MUNICIPAL WASTEWATER UTILITY OPERATORS"or"UTILITY"
rather than"collection system owner or operator."Both refer to the same individual(s).
The term "REVIEW" is used in this document in place of"INSPECTION" or"AUDIT."Because
"inspection" often refers to an evaluation conducted by the regulatory authority and"audit"has been
used to refer to an evaluation with very specific requirements, "review" is more appropriately used to
capture the wider universe of evaluations (e.g., those conducted by a regulatory authority,the system
itself, and/or by a third-party).
Similarly,the term used to describe the person conducting the CMOM review is the"REVIEWER"—
this could be either an inspector, a third party reviewer hired by the owner or operator, or personnel of
the owner or operator performing a self-evaluation of the collection system.
The term "FACILITY" is used in this document to refer to the components of the collection system
(e.g.,pump stations, sewer lines).
1.3 How to Use the Guide
The guide and checklist provide a three-tiered approach to the CMOM review:
• Evaluation of the CMOM program, based on interviews with management and field personnel,
as well as observation of routine activities and functions
• Review of pertinent records and information management systems
• Evaluation based on field/site review
Chapter 2 provides a breakdown and overview of each CMOM concept and what to look for when
reviewing the system, defines the CMOM elements for the reviewer, and follows through with a
discussion of the indicators or other clues about which the reviewer should be aware. Chapters 2 and 3
present detailed information on conducting reviews of collection systems. Chapter 3 contains the
comprehensive reviewer checklist, supported by the information in Chapter 2. Appendix A presents a
Collection System Performance Indicator Data Collection Form which provides examples of the types of
information a reviewer should attempt to obtain while on-site.
The"one size does not fit all" approach to reviewing CMOM programs cannot be overstated. The
principles covered in this guide are applicable to all wastewater collection systems,however,these
principles may be implemented through different means depending on the system. Larger systems may
have the resources and the need to implement more costly and complex means of meeting the CMOM
program elements. In occasional cases a CMOM feature may not be implemented at all, due to
characteristics of the system. A reviewer should be able to look at the system as a whole and determine
whether certain key elements are present or should be present and to what extent the system incorporates
the CMOM principles.
Reviewers will also find that the location or names of some documents, logs, or reports may vary from
system to system. This guide tries to provide a general description of the materials the reviewer should
request.

Although use of this guide cannot guarantee a collection system will avoid permit violations or
discharge violations, generally,when owners or operators adequately practice the principles laid
out in the guide,they should experience fewer problems and,therefore, fewer instances of
noncompliance.
1.4 Overview of the Underlying Issues
Sanitary sewer collection systems are designed to remove wastewater from homes and other buildings
and convey it to a wastewater treatment plant. The collection system is a critical element in the
successful performance of the wastewater treatment process. EPA estimates that collection systems in
the U.S. have a total replacement value between$1 to $2 trillion. Under certain conditions,poorly
designed,built, managed, operated, and/or maintained systems can pose risks to public health, the
environment, or both. These risks arise from sanitary sewer overflows (SSOs) from the collection
system or by compromised performance of the wastewater treatment plant. Effective and continuous
management, operation, and maintenance, as well as ensuring adequate capacity and rehabilitation when
necessary, are critical to maintaining collection system capacity and performance while extending the
life of the system.
EPA believes that every sanitary sewer system has the �.
capacity to have an SSO. This may be due to a number
of factors including, but not limited to: • J`T f
• Blockages '"`?•
-
• Structural, mechanical, or electrical failures '
• Collapsed or broken sewer pipes ==1 .
• Insufficient conveyance capacity ., +'
• Vandalism _' ` �,',•.
TA
Additionally, high levels of inflow and infiltration (I/I)
during wet weather can cause SSOs. Many collection SSOs include untreated discharges from sanitary
sewer systems that reach waters of the United States
systems that were designed according to industry (photo:US EPA).
standards experience wet weather SSOs because levels of I/I
may exceed levels originally expected;prevention of I/I has
proven more difficult and costly than anticipated; or the capacity of the system has become inadequate
due to an increase in service population without corresponding system upgrades(EPA 2004).
SSOs can cause or contribute to environmental and human health impacts(e.g., water quality standards
violations, contamination of drinking water supplies,beach closures, etc.)which, in addition to flooded
basements and overloaded wastewater treatment plants, are some symptoms of collection systems with
inadequate capacity and improper management, operation,and maintenance. These problems create the
need for both the owner or operator and the regulatory authority to conduct more thorough evaluations
of sanitary sewer collection systems.

1.5 Purpose of CMOM Programs
CMOM programs incorporate many of the standard operation and maintenance activities that are
routinely implemented by the owner or operator with a new set of information management
requirements in order to:
• Better manage, operate, and maintain collection systems
• Investigate capacity constrained areas of the collection system
• Proactively prevent SSOs
• Respond to SSO events
The CMOM approach helps the owner or operator provide a high level of service to customers and
reduce regulatory noncompliance. CMOM can help utilities optimize use of human and material
resources by shifting maintenance activities from"reactive"to "proactive"—often leading to savings
through avoided costs due to overtime,reduced emergency construction costs, lower insurance
premiums, changes in financial performance goals, and fewer lawsuits. CMOM programs can also help
improve communication relations with the public, other municipal works and regional planning
organizations, and regulators.
It is important to note that the collection system board members or equivalent entity should ensure that
the CMOM program is established as a matter of policy. The program should not be micro-managed,but
an understanding of the resources required of the operating staff to implement and maintain the program
is necessary.
In CMOM planning, the owner or operator selects performance goal targets, and designs CMOM
activities to meet the goals. The CMOM planning framework covers operation and maintenance (O&M)
planning, capacity assessment and assurance, capital improvement planning, and financial management
planning. Information collection and management practices are used to track how the elements of the
CMOM program are meeting performance goals, and whether overall system efficiency is improving.
On an periodic basis,utility activities should be reviewed and adjusted to better meet the performance
goals. Once the long-term goal of the CMOM program is established, interim goals may be set. For
instance, an initial goal may be to develop a geographic information system(GIS) of the system. Once
the GIS is complete, a new goal might be to use the GIS to track emergency calls and use the
information to improve maintenance planning.
An important component of a successful CMOM program is periodically collecting information on
current systems and activities to develop a"snapshot-in-time" analysis. From this analysis,the owner or
operator evaluates its performance and plans its CMOM program activities.
Maintaining the value of the investment is also important. Collection systems represent major capital
investments for communities and are one of the communities' major capital assets. Equipment and
facilities will deteriorate through normal use and age. Maintaining value of the capital asset is a major
goal of the CMOM program. The infrastructure is what produces sales and service. Proper reinvestment
in capital facilities maintains the ability to provide service and generate sales at the least cost possible
and helps ensure compliance with environmental requirements. As a capital asset,this will result in the

Case 1:12-cv-24400-FAM Document 25-4 Entered on FLSD Docket 06/06/2013 Page 9 of 126
Guide for Evaluating CMOM Programs at Sanitary Sewer Collection Systems
need for ongoing investment in the collection system and treatment plant to ensure design capacity
while maintaining existing facilities and equipment as well as extending the life of the system.
The performance of wastewater collection systems is directly linked to the effectiveness of its CMOM
program. Performance characteristics of a system with an inadequate CMOM program include frequent
blockages resulting in overflows and backups. Other major performance indicators include pump station
reliability, equipment availability, and avoidance of catastrophic system failures such as a collapsed
pipe.
A CMOM program is what an owner or operator should use to manage its assets; in this case,the
collection system itself. The CMOM program consists of a set of best management practices that have
been developed by the industry and are applied over the entire life cycle of the collection system and
treatment plant. These practices include:
• Designing and constructing for O&M .
• Knowing what comprises the system(inventory and
physical attributes) —~
• Knowing where the system is(maps and location) .
• Knowing the condition of the system(assessment)
• Planning and scheduling work based on condition and
performance -
• Repairing,replacing, and rehabilitating system components ir
based on condition and performance •
• Managing timely, relevant information to establish and
prioritize appropriate CMOM activities?
• Training of personnel I

Regulatory Requirement

Environmental Protection).
program prohibits discharges of pollutants from any point source into
the nation's waters except as authorized under an NPDES permit.
EPA and state NPDES inspectors evaluate collection systems and treatment plants to determine
compliance with permit conditions including proper O&M. Among others,these permit conditions are
based on regulation in 40 CFR 122.41(e): "The permittee shall at all times properly operate and
maintain all facilities and systems of treatment and control(and related appurtenances)which are
installed or used by the permittee to achieve compliance with the conditions of this permit."
When violations occur,the collection system or wastewater treatment plant owner or operator can face
fines and requirements to implement programs to compensate residents and restore the environment. For
example, in June 2004,the U.S.District Court for the Southern District of Ohio entered a consent decree
resolving CSO, SSO, and wastewater treatment plant violations at the Hamilton County sewer system in
Cincinnati, Ohio. In addition to a$1.2 million civil penalty, the settlement included programs to clean
up residents' basements, compensate residents, and implement measures to prevent further basement
backups. The settlement also includes over$5.3 million in supplemental environmental projects.

1.7 EPA Region 4 MOM Programs Project
EPA Region 4 created the"Publicly Owned Treatment Works MOM Programs Project"under which the
Region invites permitted owners or operators, and contributing satellite systems, in watersheds it selects
to perform a detailed self-assessment of the management, operation, and maintenance (MOM)programs
associated with their collection system. Participants provide a report which includes the results of the
review, any improvements that should be made, and schedules to make those improvements.
Participants that identify and report a history of unpermitted discharges from their collection system,
and a schedule for the necessary improvements, can be eligible for smaller civil penalties while under a
remediation schedule.
EPA's Office of Compliance coordinated with EPA Region 4 on the development of this CMOM Guide.
This guide is based in part on material obtained from the Region 4 MOM Programs Project. Some of the
more specific items of the Region 4 program have been omitted in order to provide a more streamlined
review framework. The fundamental concepts behind CMOM have been maintained in this guide. By
combining elements of the Region's program with existing NPDES inspection guidance, this CMOM
Guide provides a comprehensive framework for reviewers and regulated communities to evaluate the
effectiveness of O&M throughout the collection system.

CHAPTER 2. COLLECTION SYSTEM CAPACITY,
MANAGEMENT, OPERATION, AND MAINTENANCE
PROGRAMS
This chapter provides an overview of the CMOM program elements. The information will help
evaluate wastewater collection system operation and maintenance (O&M)practices. The key
elements of the CMOM program, which are presented in detail in the following sections,
include:
• Collection System Management
• Collection System Operation
• Collection System Maintenance
• Collection System Capacity Evaluation
In addition to this overview,there are several areas(e.g., 2.1.3 Internal Communications, 2.1.4
Customer Service, etc.) in this guide that go into greater depth regarding the operation and
maintenance of a collection system. The intent of this detail is not only to provide the owner or
operator with suggestions as to what to look for in their own program, but to provide the
reviewer a complete overview of good operations, in general,regardless of a particular item
resulting in poor performance or a violation.
For EPA and state inspectors or other reviewers, conducting an evaluation of collection system
CMOM programs shares many similarities with other types of compliance reviews. Overall,the
reviewer would examine records, interview staff and conduct field investigations, generally in
that order although tailored, if necessary,to meet site-specific needs. Prior to performing the on-
site interviews and evaluations, preliminary information may be requested that will provide an
overall understanding of the organization to allow for a more focused approach for the review.
This information also provides a basis for more detailed data gathering during on site activities.
The information typically requested prior to the review should include a schematic map of the
collection system (could be as-built drawings) and any written operations or maintenance
procedures. Depending on the volume of information,the collection system owner or operator
may need ample lead time to gather and copy these documents. Alternatively, the reviewer may
offer to examine the documents and bring them back when doing the on-site review so that extra
copies are not necessary.No matter which method is used,the importance of up-front
preparation cannot be overemphasized. With the exception of pump stations and manholes, much
of the collection system is not visible. Therefore,the more complete the reviewer's
understanding of the system is prior to the review, the more successful the assessment will be.
The reviewer would then proceed with the on-site activities. Guidance for conducting
compliance reviews is provided in the NPDES Compliance Inspection Manual(EPA 2004). The
manual provides the general procedures for performing compliance reviews and is a valuable
source of information on such topics as entry, legal authority, and responsibilities of the
reviewer. Although CMOM evaluations are not specifically addressed in the manual, the general

review procedures can be applied to CMOM reviews. Another good reference for general review
information is the Multi-Media Investigations Manual, NEIC(EPA 1992). Some issues with
entry are specific to CMOM reviews. Some facilities may be on private property and the
reviewer may need property owner consent for entry.
Documents to Review On-site Include:
• Organization chart(s)
• Staffing plans
• Job descriptions
• Sewer use ordinance
• Overall map of system showing facilities such as pump stations,treatment plants,major gravity sewers,and
force mains
• O&M budget with cost centers' for wastewater collection
• Performance measures for inspections,cleaning,repair,and rehabilitation
• Recent annual report,if available
• Routine reports regarding system O&M activities
• Collection system master plan
• Capital improvement projects(CIP)plan
• Flow records or monitoring
• Safety manual
• Emergency response plan
• Management policies and procedures
• Detailed maps/schematics of the collection system and pump stations
• Work order management system
• O&M manuals
• Materials management program
• Vehicle management and maintenance records
• Procurement process
• Training plan for employees
• Employee work schedules
• Public complaint log
• Rate ordinance or resolution
• Financial report("notes"section)
• As built plans
• Discharge monitoring reports(DMRs)
The above list is not all inclusive nor will all utilities necessarily have formal,written
documentation for each of the items listed. The Collection System Performance Indicator Data
Collection Form, included as Appendix A,provides examples of the types of information a
reviewer should attempt to obtain while on-
site.

costs more easily.

and support services staff from engineering, construction, human resources, and purchasing,
where appropriate. Appendix B presents an example agenda and schedule that would be used for
a large collection system owner or operator. The collection system's size and physical
characteristics will determine the length of time needed for the review. A guideline for the time
required, given a two person review team,would be two days for a small system, and a week or
more for large systems.
Field reviews are typically conducted after interviews. The following is a list of typical field
sites the team should visit:
• Mechanical and electrical maintenance shop(s)
• Fleet maintenance facilities (vehicles and other rolling stock)
• Materials management facilities (warehouse, outside storage yards)
• Field maintenance equipment storage locations (i.e., crew trucks,mechanical and
hydraulic cleaning equipment, construction and repair equipment, and television
inspection equipment)
• Safety equipment storage locations
• Pump stations
• Dispatch and supervisory control and data acquisition(SCADA) systems
• Crew and training facilities
• Chemical application equipment and chemical storage areas (use of chemicals for root
and grease control,hydrogen sulfide control [odors, corrosion])
• Site of SSOs, if applicable
• A small,but representative, selection of manholes
Collection system operators typically assist with manhole cover removal and other physical
activities. The inspector should refrain from entering confined spaces. A confined space is
defined by the Occupational Safety and Health Administration(OSHA) as a space that: (1)is
large enough and so configured that an employee can bodily enter and perform assigned work;
and(2)has limited or restricted means for entry or exit; and(3) is not designed for continuous
employee occupancy [29 CFR 1910.146(b)]. A"permit-required confined space(permit space)"
is a confined space that has one or more of the following characteristics: (1)contains or has a
potential to contain a hazardous atmosphere; (2) contains a material that has the potential for
engulfing an entrant; (3)has an internal configuration such that an entrant could be trapped or
asphyxiated by inwardly converging walls or by a floor which slopes downward and tapers to a
smaller cross-section; or(4)contains any other recognized serious safety or health hazard [29
CFR 1910.146(b)].
Though OSHA has promulgated standards for confined spaces,those standards do not apply
directly to municipalities, except in those states that have approved plans and have asserted
jurisdiction under Section 18 of the OSHA Act. Contract operators and private facilities do have
to comply with the OSHA requirements and the inspector may find that some municipalities
elect to do so voluntarily. In sewer collection systems,the two most common confined spaces are
the underground pumping station and manholes. The underground pumping station is typically
entered through a relatively narrow metal or concrete shaft via a fixed ladder. Inspectors
conducting the field evaluation component of the CMOM audit should be able to identify and

avoid permit-required confined spaces. Although most confined spaces are unmarked, confined
spaces that may have signage posted near their entry containing the following language:
DANGER—PERMIT REQUIRED—CONFINED SPACE
AUTHORIZED PERSONNEL ONLY
If confined space entry is absolutely necessary, inspectors should consult with the collection
system owner or operator first, have appropriate training on confined space entry, and use the
proper hazard detection and personal safety equipment. More information on confined space
entry can be found in Operation and Maintenance of Wastewater Collection Systems Volumes
I and II(California State University(CSU) Sacramento 1996; CSU Sacramento 1998).
2.1 Collection System Management
Collection system management activities form the backbone for operation and effective
maintenance activities. The goals of a management program should include:
• Protection of public health and prevention of unnecessary property damage
• Minimization of infiltration, inflow
and exfiltration, and maximum
conveyance of wastewater to the Management Documents to Review

Without the proper procedures,
management and training systems, O&M activities may lack organization and precision,
resulting in a potential risk to human health and environmental contamination of surrounding
water bodies, lands, dwellings, or groundwater. The following sections discuss the common
elements of a robust collection system management program.
2.1.1 Organizational Structure
Well-established organizational structure,which delineates responsibilities and authority for
each position, is an important component of a CMOM program for a collection system. This
information may take the form of an organizational chart or narrative description of roles and
2-4
Page 632 of 1707

responsibilities, or both. The organizational chart should show the overall personnel structure,
including operation and maintenance staff.
Additionally,up-to-date job descriptions
should be available. Job descriptions should Reviewer-Point to Note
include the nature of the work performed, The reviewer may want to note the turnover rate and
the minimum requirements for the position, current levels of staffing(i.e.,how many vacant

problems.
performance measures or promotion
potential. Other items to note in regard to
the organizational structure are the percent
of staff positions currently vacant, on average,the length of time positions remain vacant, and
the percent of collection system work that is contracted out.
Reviewers should evaluate specific qualifications of personnel and determine if the tasks
designated to individuals, crews, or teams match the job descriptions and training requirements
spelled out in the organizational structure. From an evaluation standpoint, the reviewer might try
to determine what type of work is performed by outside contractors and what specific work is
reserved for collection system personnel. If much of the work is contracted, it is appropriate to
review the contract and to look at the contractor's capabilities. If the contractor handles
emergency response, the reviewer should examine the contract with the owner or operator to
determine if the emergency response procedures and requirements are outlined.
The inclusion of job descriptions in the organizational structure ensures that all employees know
their specific job responsibilities and have
the proper credentials. Additionally, it is

procedures. responsibilities. In addition, when
evaluating the CMOM program,job
descriptions will help a reviewer determine
who should be interviewed.
When evaluating the organizational structure,the reviewer should look for the following:
• Except in very small systems, operation and maintenance personnel ideally should report
to the same supervisor or director. The supervisor or director should have overall
responsibility for the collection system.
• In some systems,maintenance may be carried out by a city-wide maintenance
2-5

Guide for Evaluating CMOM Programs at Sanitary Sewer Collection Systems
organization,which may also be responsible for such diverse activities as road repair and
maintenance of the water distribution system. This can be an effective approach, but only
if adequate lines of responsibility and communication are established.
• In general, one supervisor should manage a team of individuals small enough that is safe
and effective. However, the individuals on the team may have additional employees
reporting to them. This prevents the top supervisors from having to track too many
individuals. The employee-supervisor ratio at individual collection systems will vary
depending on their need for supervisors.
In a utility with well-established organizational structure, staff and management should be able
to articulate their job and position responsibilities. Personnel should be trained to deal with
constantly changing situations and requirements, both regulatory and operational.
The system's personnel requirements vary in relation to the overall size and complexity of the
collection system. In very small systems,these responsibilities may include operation of the
treatment plant as well as the collection system. In many systems, collection system personnel
are responsible for the stormwater as well as wastewater collection system. References providing
staff guidelines or recommendations are available to help the reviewer determine if staffing is
adequate for the collection system being reviewed. Following is a list of available references:
• Manpower Requirements for Wastewater Collection Systems in Cities of 150,000 to
500,000 Population (EPA 1974)
• Manpower Requirements for Wastewater Collection Systems in Cities and Towns of up to

The following tables have been taken from the two EPA documents listed above to provide the
reviewer with guidance. However,these documents may not take into account technological
advances that have occurred since their publication date that might reduce staffing requirements.

characteristics should also be accounted for when using these tables. An example of this might

2.1.2 Training
The commitment of management to training is key to a successful program. It is important to
recognize training as a budget expense item. A guideline for the typical amount of funding for
training is three to five percent of the gross budget for the collection system. However, in large
collection systems or those undergoing extensive construction this percentage may be
considerably lower, and,in systems with a high turnover,training costs may be higher due to
orienting new employees. Other changes, such as incorporation of new technology,will have a
short-term impact on training costs. Although training is not explicitly required under current
regulations, a collection system with untrained or poorly trained collection system personnel
runs a greater risk of experiencing noncompliance.
The following elements are essential for an effective training program:
• Fundamental mission, goals, and policies of the collection system are addressed
• Mandatory training requirements are identified for key employees
• On-the-job training progress and performance are measured
• Effectiveness of the training is assessed including periodic testing, drills, or
demonstrations
• New employees receive training
The owner or operator should generally provide training in the following areas:
• Routine line maintenance (may be on-the-job training only)
• Safety during confined space entry (every system should also have a strict policy and
permit program)
• Traffic control (where applicable)
• Record keeping Sources of Training
• Pump station O&M Training is required to safely perform inspections,
• Electrical and instrumentation(may follow replacement procedures,and lubricate and

The training program should identify the types of training required and offered. Types of training
vary,but may include general environmental awareness, specific equipment,policies and

questions: are the materials appropriate to
the training topic and the level of those
being trained; and are they likely to accomplish the intended goal?
2.1.3 Internal Communication
Communication is essential to ensuring that collection systems run efficiently and effectively.
It is especially important that an effective communication link exists between wastewater
treatment plant operators and collection system crews as well as with other municipal
departments.
Effective communication requires the top-down, bottom-up, and lateral exchange of information
amongst staff. Examples of top-down communication are bulletin board posters, paycheck
inserts,regular staff meetings, e-mail or informal brown-bag lunch discussions. Examples of
bottom-up communication may include the establishing environmental committees, confidential
hotlines, e-mail, or direct open discussions. Collection system owners or operators may also
offer incentives to employees for performance, and encourage them to submit suggestions for
ways to improve the performance of the collection system. "Front line"employees are often an
excellent source of ideas, issues, and information about how to improve performance at the work
site. In this context,the reviewer can check for morale-boosting activities or reward programs,
such as "Employee of the Month" and"Employee of the Year."
The reviewer should attempt to determine lines of internal communication to ensure all
employees receive information and have an appropriate forum to provide feedback. The reviewer
should assess the level of communication by interviewing several levels of staff or by simply
observing collection system teams on work assignments. The owner or operator should have
procedures and be able to demonstrate internal communication between the various levels and
functions of the collection system regarding its management, operation, and maintenance
programs.
2.1.4 Customer Service
The community often knows very little about the wastewater treatment and collection services
performed for them. The community may only be aware of the collection system and its owner
or operator through articles in local newspapers,public radio and television announcements, or
only when there is an SSO. Collection system representatives should talk to schools and
universities,make presentations to local officials and businesses about the wastewater field.
Formal presentations can also be given to citizens, building inspectors, public utility officials,
2-11

Case 1:12-cv-24400-FAM Document 25-4 Entered on FLSD Docket 06/06/2013 Page 22 of
126
Guide for Evaluating CMOM Programs at Sanitary Sewer Collection Systems
and members of the media.
An effective customer service and public relations program ensures that the owner or operator
addresses all incoming inquiries,requests, and complaints in a timely fashion. From this
information, owners or operators may further develop or revise programs to better address areas
of concern. The reviewer should examine customer service records for the following:
• Personnel who received the complaint or request
• Date and nature of the complaint or request
• Location of the problem
• Name, address, and telephone number of the customer
• Cause of the problem
• To whom the follow-up action was assigned
• The initial date of the follow-up action
• Date the complaint or request was resolved
• Total days to end the problem
• Feedback to the customer
Awareness of past issues,population served,compliance history, and other elements help a
reviewer determine whether the amount and
types of inquiries,requests, or complaints are
increasing or decreasing.For example,there Reviewer-Point to Note

precipitation event)that caused the increase
in inquiries or complaints.
Employees who handle customer service should be specifically trained to handle complaints,
requests, or inquiries. These employees should be provided with sample correspondence, Q/A's,
or"scripts"to help guide them through written or oral responses to customers. The reviewer
should look for procedures on how to answer the telephone, e-mail, and other communication
used by personnel. A reviewer may evaluate staff telephone responses by evaluating:
• The number of persons available to answer calls
• The number of repeat callers
• The average length of calls
• The volume of calls per day
Collection system field crews and their activities are the most visible segment of any wastewater
treatment organization. Workers project a public image for their system on city and town streets.
For this reason,personnel need to be trained in what to expect in public situations. For example, •

Case 1:12-cv-24400-FAM Document 25-4 Entered on FLSD Docket 06/06/2013 Page 23 of
126
Guide for Evaluating CMOM Programs at Sanitary Sewer Collection Systems
collection system supervisory staff should be familiar with the areas around public rights-of-way
and easements to which their field crews must gain access to service facilities. Additionally,
crew leaders should know how to deal with the public when approached.
Collection systems field crews influence the public's confidence in the collection system owner
or operator. Reviewers should observe whether personnel wear uniforms or not, and if vehicles
and equipment are identifiable as utility property and kept in good working order. Vehicles
should be equipped with adequate emergency lighting and flashers,traffic control signs and
barriers, etc. Before major construction or maintenance work begins, owners or operators should
notify homeowners where properties may be affected. Methods of notification may include door
hangers, newspaper notices, fliers, signs, or public radio or television announcements.
Information should also be provided to residents on cleanup and safety procedures following
basement backups and other overflows.
2.1.5 Management Information Systems
The ability of the owner or operator to effectively manage its collection system is directly related
to its ability to maintain access to the most
current information concerning the facilities. 1.w kL

inspection schedules
• Offer budgetary justification
• Track repairs and work orders
• Organize capital replacement plans
• Manage tools and equipment inventories
• Create purchase orders
• Record customer service inquiries, complaints, or requests
• Provide measurement of effectiveness of program and O&M activities
Owners and operators have been shifting to computer-based systems to manage data. Only the
smaller collection system owners or operators may still rely on paper management systems.
2-13
Page 641 of 1707
Case 1:12-cv-24400-FAM Document 25-4 Entered on FLSD Docket 06/06/2013 Page 24 of
126
Guide for Evaluating CMOM Programs at Sanitary Sewer Collection Systems
Computer-based Maintenance Management Systems (CMMSs) are designed to manage the data
needed to track the collection system's O&M performance. Geographic Information Systems
(GIS) are used to map and locate facilities and because of computer-based compatibility, can
often easily be integrated with a CMMS. The computer-based system however, can only be as
accurate as the data used to develop it,which was most likely paper files.
Regardless of the information management
Types of Management Information Tracking style chosen, the collection system should
have written instructions regarding the use of
• Customer service the management information systems. These
• Safety incident procedures may include operating the system,
• Emergency response
• Process change upgrading the system, accessing data and
• Inspection scheduling and tracking information, and generating and printing
• Monitoring and/or sampling schedules reports. The system should be kept current
• Compliance with accurate information. Work reports from
• Planned maintenance(schedules and work the field crews should be complete, accurate,
orders)
• Parts inventory and legible.
The reviewer may select some number of
complaints and see how well they can be
tracked through the system to an ultimate conclusion. Work reports generated by the field crew
should be randomly chosen and scanned for legibility and completeness. The reviewer should do
a random check of the timeliness and accuracy of data entry. Additionally,the reviewer should
obtain selected original data sources(such as field reports) and compare them to the appropriate
database output to determine how long entry takes. This will provide a check on how current the
database is and what data entry backlog exists.
2.1.6 SSO Notification Program
The owner or operator should maintain a written procedure indicating the entities, (e.g., drinking
water purveyors, the public,public health officials, and the
regulatory authority)that should be notified in the event of
an SSO. The procedure should clearly indicate the chain of Reviewer-Point to Note

still in the position listed and are aware of their
responsibilities.
The procedure may allow for different levels of response for different types of SSOs. For
example, the regulatory authority may request that SSOs due to sewer line obstructions be
2-14
Page 642 of 1707
Case 1:12-cv-24400-FAM Document 25-4 Entered on FLSD Docket 06/06/2013 Page 25 of
126
Guide for Evaluating CMOM Programs at Sanitary Sewer Collection Systems
reported on a monthly basis. Therefore,the procedure may simply be to gather this information
from the maintenance information system and have the appropriate personnel put together a
reporting form. A chronic SSO at a pump station that discharges when overloaded during wet
weather may require a more complex notification procedure, including immediate telephone
notification to specified authorities.
To verify the effectiveness of the notification program,the reviewer should walk an overflow
occurrence report through the chain of events that would occur from the time of initial
notification. This can be done by choosing several random overflow events from the complaint
records and observing whether they are handled as procedures dictate. The minimum information
that should be reported for an SSO includes the date,time, location, cause,volume of the
overflow(which may be estimated),how it was stopped, and any remediation methods taken.
The reviewer should not only verify that the SSO notification procedures are appropriate,but
also verify that the owner or operator has reliable methods for the detection of overflows and a
phone number or hotline for the public to report observed overflow events.
2.1.7 Legal Authority
The collection system owner or operator should select and
enforce the legal authority necessary to regulate the A satellite community is a

take the form of sewer use ordinances, contracts, service
agreements, and other legally binding documents.
The pretreatment program seeks to prevent the discharge of materials into the sewer system (by
non-domestic users)that interfere with proper operation of the wastewater treatment plant or
may pass through the plant untreated. At the time the operator of a wastewater treatment plant
submits its pretreatment program to the regulatory authority for approval,the plant operator must
include a statement from the city solicitor or other legal authority that the plant has the authority
to carry out the program [40 CFR 403.9(a)(1)]. The reviewer should verify the existence of this
statement and inquire as to whether any significant changes have occurred in the program such
that the legal authority may need further review. Additionally, some owners or operators may
have a pretreatment program approved by the state,through which discharge permits are issued
to industrial users and enforcement is conducted. Further information on legal authority under
the pretreatment program may be found in Procedures Manual for Reviewing a POTW
Pretreatment Program Submission(EPA 1983).

The owner or operator should also have the legal
authority to prohibit stormwater connections to the
sanitary sewer. Stormwater connections may include F
catch basins; roof, cellar and yard drains; sump e1
pumps; direct connections between the storm and
sanitary sewers; leaking manhole covers; uncapped

There are many reasons why the owner or operator may want to divert flows; among them,to
relieve overloading on a system of piping or the wastewater treatment plant or to add more flow
to piping serving an area not yet fully developed to maintain a cleansing velocity.
2.2.1 Budgeting
The budget is one of the most important variables in the CMOM program. Although an adequate
budget is not a guarantee of a well operated collection system, an inadequate budget will make
attaining this goal difficult. Funding can come from a

about the systems'budget. an annual baseline provides documentation for future
budget considerations and provides justification for
future rate increases. Collection system management
should be aware of the procedures for calculating user rates and for recommending and making
user rate changes.
Collection system and wastewater treatment plant costs may be combined into one budget, or
budget line items may be divided into each of two individual budgets. For example, electrical
and mechanical maintenance work performed by plant staff on a pump station may be carried as
an O&M cost in the treatment plant budget, although pumping stations are generally considered
to be a collection system component.

projects may include items such as equipment, labor,training, or root cause failure analysis.
The major categories of operating costs are labor,utilities, and supplies. Cost accounting for

126
Guide for Evaluating CMOM Programs at Sanitary Sewer Collection Systems
these categories should include information on unit costs,total costs, and the amount and/or
quantities used. The reviewer should evaluate the current and proposed budget, and current year
balance sheets. In examining current and proposed expenditure levels,the reviewer should
consider:
• Whether the budgets include contributions to capital reserve (sinking) funds. These funds
are savings for replacement of system components once they reach their service life.
• Whether all income from water and sewer billings supports those functions, or if it goes
into the general fund.
• Whether raising user fees is a feasible option to meet budget needs based on recent
expenditure history.
2.2.2 Monitoring
The collection system owner or operator may be responsible for fulfilling some water quality or
other monitoring requirements. Responsibilities may include:
• Monitoring discharges into the collection system from industrial users
• Monitoring to determine the effects of SSOs on receiving waters
• Monitoring required as part of an NPDES permit, a 308 letter, administrative order, or
consent decree
The owner or operator should maintain written procedures to ensure that sampling is carried out
in a safe, effective, and consistent manner. The procedures should specify, at a minimum the
following:
• Sampling location(s)
• Sample volumes,preservatives, and holding times
• Instructions for the operation of any automatic sampling and/or field monitoring (e.g.,pH
or dissolved oxygen) equipment
• Sampling frequency
• Sampling and analytical methodologies
• Laboratory QA/QC
Records should be maintained of sampling events. These records should at a minimum include
the following:
• Date,time, and location of sampling
• Sample parameters
• Date shipped or delivered to the laboratory

2.2.3 Hydrogen Sulfide Monitoring and Control
The collection system owner or operator
should have a program under which they Areas Subject to Generation of

As mentioned in Section 2.4.2, the collection system owner or operator should be carrying out

systems.
The reduction of flow through the pipes allows room for
hydrogen sulfide gases to rise into the airway portion of
the sewer pipe and react with the bacteria and moisture on the pipe walls to form sulfuric acid.
Sulfuric acid corrodes ferrous metals and concrete.
There are several methods to prevent or control hydrogen sulfide corrosion. The first is proper
design. Design considerations are beyond the scope of this manual but may be found in the
Design Manual: Odor and Corrosion Control in Sanitary Sewerage Systems and Treatment
Plants (EPA 1985). The level of dissolved sulfide in the wastewater may also be reduced by
chemical or physical means such as aeration, or the addition of chlorine,hydrogen peroxide,
potassium permanganate, iron salts, or sodium hydroxide. Whenever chemical control agents are
used,the owner or operator should have procedures for their application and maintain records of
the dosages of the various chemicals. Alternatively, sewer cleaning to remove deposited solids
reduces hydrogen sulfide generation. Also, air relief valves may be installed at the high points of
the force main system. The valve allows air to exit thus avoiding air space at the crown of the
pipe where acid can form. The reviewer should examine the records to see that these valves are

receiving periodic maintenance.
Collection systems vary widely in their vulnerability to hydrogen sulfide corrosion. Vitrified
clay and plastic pipes are very resistant to hydrogen sulfide corrosion while concrete, steel, and
iron pipes are more susceptible. The physical aspects of the collection system are also important.
Sewage in pipes on a decline that moves the wastewater at a higher velocity will have less
hydrogen sulfide than sewage in pipes where the wastewater may experience longer detention
times. Therefore, some systems may need a more comprehensive corrosion control program
while some might limit observations to vulnerable points.
2.2.4 Safety
The reasons for development of a safety program should be obvious for any collection system
owner or operator. The purpose of the program is to define the principles under which the work
is to be accomplished,to make the employees aware of
safe working procedures, and to establish and enforce
specific regulations and procedures. The program Point to Note
should be in writing (e.g., procedures,policies, and Although a safety program may not be

cuts across all job descriptions and should emphasize
the need to recognize and address hazardous situations. Safety programs should be in place for
the following areas:
• Confined spaces
• Chemical handling
• Trenching and excavations
• Material Safety Data Sheets (MSDS)
• Biological hazards in wastewater
• Traffic control and work site safety
• Lockout/Tagout
• Electrical and mechanical safety
• Pneumatic or hydraulic systems safety
The collection system owner or operator should have written procedures which address all of the

above issues and are made available to employees. In addition to training, safety programs
should incorporate procedures to enforce the program.

daily activities and also undertake any emergency
repairs. This equipment should include, at minimum:
• Atmospheric gas testing equipment
• Respirators and/or self-contained breathing apparatus
• Full body harness
• Tripods or non-entry rescue equipment
• Hard hats
• Safety glasses
• Rubber boots
• Rubber and/or disposable gloves
• Antibacterial soap
• First aid kit
• Protective clothing
• Confined space ventilation equipment
• Traffic and/or public access control equipment
• Hazardous gas meter
Each field crew vehicle should have adequate health and safety supplies. If the reviewer has
access to the municipal vehicle storage area, he or she might choose to check actual vehicle
stocks,not just supplies in storage.

failure. Ideally,this plan is written,reviewed, and adjusted as needed at periodic intervals.
The reviewer should determine if the emergency response plan generally follows the guidelines
described below. The location where the plan is housed may vary but, in general, such a
document should be available in the yard office or other building commonly accessible to and
frequented by collection system personnel. The emergency preparedness and response
procedures may be contained in the collection system's O&M manual, or may be reflected in the
descriptions of equipment and unit operations. Putting emergency procedures in a stand-alone
document,rather than combining it with other information in the O&M manual, makes it easier
for collection system personnel to find information.
The plan should utilize the most current information on the collection system. For larger
systems, a structured analysis, or risk assessment, should be made of the collection system,
treatment plant, and the community. The risk assessment should identify areas where the
collection system is vulnerable to failure and determine the effect and relative severity to
collection systems operations, equipment and public safety, and health of such a failure. The risk
assessment should concentrate on such factors as topography,weather, sewer system size, and
other site-specific factors which reflect the unique characteristics of the system. Once the areas
of vulnerability are known,the collection system owner or operator should have appropriate
plans in place to ensure collection system operations continue for the duration of the emergency.
The plans must clearly identify the steps staff should take in the event of emergency situations.
Plans should include information on when it is appropriate to initiate and cease emergency
operations. The plans should be very specific as to the collection system or repair equipment
involved. Instructions should be available which explain how to operate equipment or systems
during an emergency event when they are not functioning as intended but are not fully
inoperable. The plan should also include specific procedures for reporting events that result in an
overflow or other noncompliance event to the appropriate authorities.
The owner or operator should track emergency situations to become better prepared for future
emergencies and to assist with reporting and maintaining compliance with emergency-related
requirements. Typical components of an emergency program may include:
• General information regarding emergencies, such as telephone numbers of collection
system personnel, fire department, and ambulance.
• Identification of hazards (e.g.,chlorine storage areas) and use of universal classification
system for hazards: combustible material, flammable liquids, energized electrical circuits,
and hazardous materials.
• Vulnerability analysis that identifies the various types of emergencies that could occur,
such as natural disasters,power outages, or equipment failures.
• Emergency response procedures.
• Methods to reduce risk of emergencies.
• Responsibilities of staff and management.

Case 1:12-cv-24400-FAM Document 25-4 Entered on FLSD Docket 06/06/2013 Page 34 of
126
Guide for Evaluating CMOM Programs at Sanitary Sewer Collection Systems
• Continuous training.
Procedures for emergency response plans should be understood and practiced by all personnel in
order to ensure safety of the public and the collection system personnel responding. Procedures
should be specific to the type of emergency that could occur. It is important to keep detailed
records of all past emergencies in order to constantly improve response training, as well as the
method and timing of future responses. The ability to deal with emergencies depends on the
knowledge and skill of the responding crews, in addition to availability of equipment. The crew
should be able to rapidly diagnose problems in the field under stress and select the right
equipment needed to correct the problem. If resources are limited, consideration should be given
to contracting other departments or private industries to respond to some emergency situations,
for example,those rare emergencies that would exceed the capacity of staff.
2.2.6 Modeling
Computer programs (modeling programs) are available that are capable of simulating the
different flows within the collection system. The purpose of modeling is to determine system
capacity requirements with respect to sewer design and structural conditions. Therefore the input
of accurate data on sizes, location, elevation, and condition of sewer system components such as
pipes, manholes, and pump stations-is necessary. When
possible, flow monitoring data should be used to Reviewer-Point to Note
calibrate the model. The reviewer should determine
whether a model used by the owner or
Modeling is also useful in examining effects before and operator:
after rehabilitation. For example, models can be applied
to "before" and "after" scenarios to estimate the effects • Has aadequate documentation such as
of repairs. If a collection system is not experiencing any a user's manual that describes data
capacity related issues(i.e., overflows,bypasses, input requirements,output to be
basement backups, street flooding,hydraulic overload at expected,model capabilities and
the treatment plant, etc.)then maintenance of a model limitations,and hardware
may be optional for that system, although most medium
and large systems should maintain a model of the larger
diameter portion of their system. If any of the mentioned
conditions are occurring then development and maintenance of a model is essential to
performing a capacity assessment in the problem areas.
Computer modeling is a specialized and complex subject. The reviewer may not have a
comprehensive knowledge of modeling. If this is the case the he or she should obtain the
following basic information:
• Is the owner or operator using a model?
• What areas of the collection system are being modeled and why?
• What model (including the version) is being used?Who developed the model and when?
•

Guide for Evaluating CMOM Programs at Sanitary Sewer Collection Systems
• How are the modeling results being used?
2.2.7 Mapping
The importance of maintaining accurate, current maps of the collection system cannot be
overstated. Efficient collection system maintenance and repairs are unlikely if mapping is not
adequate. Collection system maps should clearly indicate the information that personnel need to
carry out their assignments. The collection system maps should contain information on the
following:
• Main,trunk and interceptor sewers
• Building/house laterals
• Manholes
• Cleanouts
• Force mains
• Pump stations
• Service area boundaries
• Other landmarks (roads, water bodies, etc.)
Collection system maps should have a numbering system which uniquely identifies all manholes
and sewer cleanouts. The system should be simple and easy to understand. Manholes and sewer
cleanouts should have permanently assigned numbers and never be renumbered. Maps should
also indicate the property served and reference its cleanout.
Sewer line maps should indicate the diameter,the length between the centers of manholes, and
the slope or direction of flow. The dimensions of easements and property lines should be
included on the maps. Other information that should be included on maps are access and
overflow points, a scale, and a north arrow. All maps should have the date the map was drafted
and the date of the last revision. Although optional, maps often include materials of pipe
construction. Maps may come in different
sizes and scales to be used for different
purposes. Detailed local maps may be used Key Design Characteristics

Guide for Evaluating CMOM Programs at Sanitary Sewer Collection Systems
structures within the collection system. If a GIS program is being used by the owner or operator,
the reviewer should ask if the program is capable of accepting information from the owner or
operator's management program.
Specific procedures should be established for correction of errors and updating maps and
drawings. Field personnel should be properly trained to recognize discrepancies between field
conditions and map data and record changes necessary to correct the existing mapping system.
Reviewers should check to see that maps and plans are available to the personnel in the office
and to field personnel or contractors involved in all engineering endeavors.
2.2.8 New Construction
The owner or operator should maintain strict control over the introduction of flows into the
system from new construction. New construction maybe public (i.e., an expansion of the
collection system)or private (i.e., a developer constructing sewers for a new development).
Quality sanitary sewer designs keep costs and problems associated with operations,maintenance,
and construction to a minimum. Design flaws are difficult to correct once construction is
complete. The reviewer should be aware that this has historically not been adequately addressed
in some collection systems. The owner or operator should have standards for new construction,
procedures for reviewing designs and protocols for inspection, start-up, testing, and approval of
new construction. The procedures should provide documentation of all activities, especially
inspection. Reviewers should examine construction inspection records and be able to answer the
following:
• Does the volume of records seem reasonable given system size?
• Do records reflect that the public works inspectors are complying with procedures?
The state or other regulatory authority may also maintain standards for new construction. The
standards held by the owner or operator should be at least as stringent. Start-up and testing
should be in accordance with the manufacturers' recommendation where applicable and with
recognized industry practices. Each step of the review, start-up,testing, and approval procedures
should be documented.
The owner or operator approval procedure should reflect future ease of maintenance concerns.
After construction is complete, a procedure for construction testing and inspection should be
used. Construction supervision should be provided by qualified personnel such as a registered
professional engineer.
2.2.9 Pump Stations
Proper operation, maintenance, and repair of pump stations typically requires special electrical,
hydraulic, and mechanical knowledge. Pump station failure may damage equipment,the
environment, or endanger public health. Variation in equipment types,pump station

Guide for Evaluating CMOM Programs at Sanitary Sewer Collection Systems
configuration, and geographical factors determine pump station design and O&M requirements.
The reviewer should verify that the O&M manual contains procedures in writing for the
following:
• Are pumps rotated manually or automatically? If manually,how frequently?
• Are wet well operating levels set to limit pump starts and stops?
• Is there a procedure for manipulating pump operations (manually or automatically)
during wet weather to increase in-line storage of wet weather flows?
• Is flow monitoring provided?How is the data collected used?
• Does the pump station have capacity-related overflows? Maintenance related overflows?
Is overflow monitoring provided?
• Is there a history of power outages? Is there a source of emergency power? If the
emergency power source is a generator, is it regularly exercised under load?
2.3 Equipment and Collection System Maintenance
Every collection system owner or operator should have a well-planned, systematic, and
comprehensive maintenance program. The goals of a maintenance program should include:
• Prevention of overflows
• Maximization of service and system reliability at minimum cost
• Assurance of infrastructure sustainability (i.e., ensure all components reach their service
life)
There should then be procedures which describe the maintenance approach for various systems.
In addition,there should be detailed instructions for the maintenance and repair of individual
facilities. These instructions should provide a level of detail such that any qualified collection
system personnel or repair technician could perform the repair or maintenance activity.
Maintenance may be planned or unplanned. There are essentially two types of planned
maintenance;predictive and preventive. Predictive maintenance is a method that tries to look for
early warning signs of equipment failure such that emergency maintenance is avoided.
Preventive maintenance consists of scheduled maintenance activities performed on a regular
basis. There are two types of unplanned maintenance, corrective and emergency. Corrective
maintenance consists of scheduled repairs to problems identified under planned or predictive
maintenance. Emergency maintenance are activities(typically repairs)performed in response to
a serious equipment or line failure where action must be taken immediately. The goal of every
owner or operator should be to reduce corrective and emergency maintenance through the use of
planned and predictive maintenance. The reviewer should evaluate the progress of the owner or
operator in achieving that goal. The goals of the reviewer in assessment of the maintenance
program are:
2-27
Page 655 of 1707
Case 1:12-cv-24400-FAM Document 25-4 Entered on FLSD Docket 06/06/2013 Page 38 of
126
Guide for Evaluating CMOM Programs at Sanitary Sewer Collection Systems
• Identify SSOs caused by inadequate maintenance
• Determine maintenance trends (i.e., frequent emergency maintenance performed as
opposed to predictive maintenance)
• Identify sustainability issues (i.e., inadequate maintenance to allow system components
to reach service life and/or many components nearing or at service life)
2.3.1 Maintenance Budgeting
The cost of a maintenance program is a significant part of the annual operating budget. The
collection system owner or operator should track all maintenance costs incurred throughout the
year, both by internal staff and contractors,to ensure that the budget is based on representative
costs from past years. Budgets should be developed from past cost records which usually are
categorized according to preventive maintenance, corrective maintenance, and projected and
actual major repair requirements. Annual costs should be compared to the budget periodically to
control maintenance expenditures.
The reviewer should evaluate the maintenance budget keeping in mind the system's
characteristics, such as age. Costs for emergency repairs should be a relatively small percentage
of the budget; five to ten percent would not be considered excessive. The establishment of an
"emergency reserve" may also be included as part of the maintenance budget. This is especially
useful where full replacement is not funded. The budget should also be considered in light of
maintenance work order backlog. The labor budget should be evaluated for consistency with
local pay rates and staffing needs and the reviewer should compare local pay rates and staffing
needs according to the tables in Section 2.1.1.
2.3.2 Planned and Unplanned Maintenance
A planned maintenance program is a systematic approach to performing maintenance activities
so that equipment failure is avoided. Planned maintenance is composed of predictive and
preventive maintenance. In the end, a good planned maintenance program should reduce material
and capital repair and replacement costs, improve personnel utilization and morale,reduce SSOs,
and sustain public confidence.
Examples of predictive maintenance includes monitoring equipment for early warning signs of
impending failure, such as excess vibration, heat, dirty
oil, and leakage. Assessment and inspection activities
can be classified as predictive maintenance. Vibration Reviewer-Point to Note

Guide for Evaluating CMOM Programs at Sanitary Sewer Collection Systems
uncover trends that could affect equipment performance. Predictive maintenance offers an early
warning. It allows collection system personnel to detect early signs of increasing rates of wear
and therefore failure, and thus shift a"corrective"task into a"planned"task. To be truly
effective predictive,however, maintenance should not spur personnel into doing the work too
soon and wasting useful life and value of the equipment in question.
The basis of a good predictive maintenance program is recordkeeping. Only with accurate
recordkeeping can baseline conditions be established,problem areas identified, and a proactive
approach taken to repairs and replacement.
Effective preventive maintenance minimizes system costs and environmental impacts by
reducing breakdowns and thus the need for corrective or emergency maintenance, improves
reliability by minimizing the time equipment is out of service, increases the useful life of
equipment thus avoiding costly premature replacement, and avoids potential noncompliance
situations. An effective preventive maintenance program includes:
• Trained personnel
• Scheduling based on system specific knowledge
• Detailed instructions related to the maintenance of various pieces of equipment
• A system for recordkeeping
• System knowledge in the form of maps, historical knowledge and records
An effective preventive maintenance program
builds on the inspection activities and Lubrication

recommended activities and frequencies. This
schedule may then be augmented by the
knowledge and experience of collection system personnel to reflect the site-specific
requirements. The schedule for sewer line cleaning, inspection,root removal, and repair
activities should be based on periodic inspection data. In most systems, uniform frequencies for
sewer line cleaning,inspection, and root removal are not necessary and inefficient. In many
systems, a relatively small percentage of the pipe generates most of the problems. Efficient use
of inspection data allows the owner or operator to implement a schedule in the most constructive
manner. In rare cases it may be appropriate to reduce maintenance frequency for a particular
piece of equipment. An example of a scheduling code and maintenance schedule for a pump is
shown below:

D=Daily A=Annually
S=Semiannually
Typically, there is a maintenance card or record for each piece of equipment within the
collection system. These records should contain maintenance recommendations, schedule, and
instructions on conducting the specific maintenance activity. The records should include
documentation regarding any maintenance activities conducted to date and other observations
related to that piece of equipment or system. Maintenance records are generally kept'where
maintenance personnel have easy access to them. The reviewer should examine the full series of
periodic work orders(i.e.weekly,monthly, semiannually, and annually) for a selection of system
components (e.g., a few pump stations, several line segments). The reviewer should then
compare the recommended maintenance frequency to that which is actually performed. He or she
should also look at the backlog of work;not focusing solely on the number of backlogged work
orders,but on what that number represents in time. A very large system can have a hundred
orders backlogged and only be one weekbehind. In a computerized system, a listing of all open
work orders is usually very simple for collection system personnel to generate. The owner or
operator should be able to explain their system for prioritizing work orders.
The reviewer needs to clearly understand the following:
• How the maintenance data management system works
• How work orders are generated and distributed
• How field crews use the work orders
• How data from the field is collected and returned
• How and on whose authority work orders are closed out
The reviewer should check to see if data entry is timely and up to date.
Unplanned maintenance is that which takes place in response to equipment breakdowns or
emergencies.Unplanned maintenance may be corrective or emergency maintenance. Corrective
maintenance could occur as a result of preventive or predictive maintenance activities which
identified a problem situation. A work order should be issued so that the request for corrective
maintenance is directed to the proper personnel. An example of non-emergency corrective
maintenance could be a broken belt on a belt driven pump. The worn belt was not detected and

Guide for Evaluating CMOM Programs at Sanitary Sewer Collection Systems
replaced through preventive maintenance and therefore the pump is out of service until
corrective maintenance can be performed. Although the pump station may function with one
pump out of service, should another pump fail, the situation may become critical during peak
flow periods.
If the information can be easily generated the reviewer should select a sampling of work orders
and compare them to the corrective maintenance database to determine if repairs are being made
in a timely manner. Reviewers should note the current backlog of corrective maintenance work
orders. A corrective maintenance backlog of two weeks or less would indicate an owner or
operator in control of corrective maintenance. The owner or operator should be able to explain
corrective maintenance work orders that have not been completed within six months.

systems have staffed 24-hour crews; many small systems have an"on-call"system. The owner

may need materials such as piping,pipe fittings,bedding materials and concrete. The owner or
operator should have supplies on hand to allow for two point(i.e. segment, fitting, or
appurtenance)repairs of any part of its system.
Pump stations should be subject to inspection and preventive maintenance on a regular schedule.
The frequency of inspection may vary from once a week, for a reliable pump station equipped
with a telemetry system,to continuous staffing at a large pump station. The basic inspection
should include verification that alarm systems are

of lubrication, and that the emergency generator is ready
if needed. Less frequent inspections may include such
items as vibration analysis and internal inspection of
pump components.
Observations and tasks performed should be recorded in a log book or on a checklist at the pump
station. It is important to note how this data returns to the central maintenance data management
system. At the time of the inspection, collection system personnel may perform minor repairs if
necessary. If non-emergency repairs are required that are beyond the staff's training, it will
probably be necessary to prepare a work order which routs a request though the proper channels
to initiate the repair action. During the review the reviewer should check a random number of
work orders to see how they move through the system. The reviewer should note whether repairs
are being carried out promptly. In pump stations, for critical equipment(pumps, drives,power
equipment, and control equipment),there should not be much backlog, unless the staff is waiting
for parts.
During the review,the reviewer should also make on-site observations of a representative pump
stations. The reviewer should plan at least half an hour to look at the simplest two-pump
prefabricated station, and one to two hours to look at a larger station. In large systems, drive time
between stations may be significant. The reviewer should strive to see a range of pump station
sizes and types (i.e.,the largest, smallest,most remote and any that review of work orders has
indicated might be problematic).
Overall,the pump station should be clean, in good structural condition and exhibit minimal odor.
The reviewer should note the settings of the pumps (i.e.,which are operating, which are on
stand-by, and which are not operating and why). The operating pumps should be observed for
noise,heat, and excessive vibration. The settings in the wet well should be noted(as indicated on
the controls, as direct observation of the reviewer in the wet well is not recommended) and the
presence of any flashing alarm lights. The reviewer is reminded of the atmospheric hazards in a
pump station(make sure ventilation has been running prior to arrival)and to avoid confined

space entry. If the pump station has an overflow its outlet should be observed, if possible, for
signs of any recent overflows such as floatable materials or toilet paper. The reviewer should
check the log book and/or checklist kept at the pump station to ensure that records are current
and all maintenance activitieshave been performed. Below is a listing of items that indicate
inadequate maintenance:
• Overall poor housekeeping and cleanliness
• Excessive grease accumulation in wet well
• Excessive corrosion on railings, ladders, and other metal components
• Sagging, worn, improperly sized, or inadequate belts
• Excessive equipment out of service for repair or any equipment for which repair has not
been ordered(i.e., a work order issued)
• Pumps running with excessive heat,vibration,or noise
• Peeling paint and/or dirty equipment(the care given to equipment's outer surfaces often,
but not always, mirrors internal condition)
• Check valves not closing when pumps shut off
• Inoperative instrumentation, alarms, and recording equipment
• "Jury-rigged"repairs (i.e., "temporary"repairs using inappropriate materials)
• Leakage from pumps, piping, or valves (some types of pump seals are designed to "leak"
seal water)
• Inadequate lighting or ineffective/inoperative ventilation equipment
2.3.3 Sewer Cleaning
The purpose of sewer cleaning is to remove accumulated material from the sewer. Cleaning
helps to prevent blockages and is also used to prepare the sewer for inspections. Stoppages in
gravity sewers are usually
caused by a structural defect,

There are three major methods of sewer cleaning: hydraulic,mechanical, and chemical.

pipe. Mechanical cleaning uses physical devices to scrape, cut, or pull material from the sewer.
Chemical cleaning can facilitate the control of

2.3.4 Parts and Equipment Inventory
An inventory of spare parts, equipment, and supplies should be maintained by the collection
system owner or operator. The inventory should be based on equipment manufacturer's
recommendations, supplemented by historical experience with maintenance and equipment
problems. Without such an inventory,the collection system may experience long down times or
periods of inefficient operation in the event of a breakdown or malfunction.
Files should be maintained on all pieces of
equipment and major tools. The owner or Basic Equipment Inventory
operator should have a system to assure that • Type,age,and description of the equipment
each crew always has adequate tools. Tools • Manufacturer
should be subject to sign out procedures to • Fuel type and other special requirements
provide accountability. Tools and equipment • Operating costs and repair history
should be replaced at the end of their useful
life. The reviewer should inquire as to how
this is determined and how funds are made available to ensure this is the case. In addition,the
reviewer should look at the tools and note their condition.
The owner or operator should maintain a yard where equipment, supplies, and spare parts are
maintained and personnel are dispatched. Very large systems may maintain more than one yard.
In this case, the reviewer should perform a visual survey at the main yard. In small to medium
size systems, collection system operations may share the yard with the department of public
works,water department, or other municipal agencies. In this case the reviewer should determine
what percentage is being allotted for collection system items. The most important features of the
yard are convenience and accessibility.
The reviewer should observe a random sampling of inspection and maintenance crew vehicles
for equipment as described above. A review of the equipment and manufacturer's manuals aids
in determining what spare parts should be maintained. The owner or operator should then
consider the frequency of usage of the part,how critical the part is, and finally how difficult the
part is to obtain when determining how many
of the part to keep in stock. Spare parts should
be kept in a clean, well-protected stock room. Owner or Operator-Point to Note

to equipment and tools management, a
tracking system should be in place, including
procedures on logging out materials, when maintenance personnel must use them. The owner or
operator should be able to produce the spare parts inventory and clearly identify those parts
deemed critical. The reviewer should evaluate the inventory and selected items in the stockroom
to determine whether the specified number of these parts are being maintained.

2.4 Sewer System Capacity Evaluation -Testing and Inspection
The collection system owner or operator should have a program in place to periodically evaluate
the capacity of the sewer system in both wet and dry weather flows and ensure the capacity is
maintained as it was designed. The capacity evaluation program builds upon ongoing activities
and the everyday preventive maintenance that takes place in a system. The capacity evaluation
begins with an inventory and characterization of the system components. The inventory should
include the following basic information about the system:
• Population served
• Total system size(feet or miles)
• Inventory of pipe length, size,material and age, and interior and exterior condition as
available
• Inventory of appurtenances such as bypasses, siphons, diversions,pump stations,tide or
flood gates and manholes, etc., including size or capacity,material and age, and condition
as available
• Force main locations, length, size and materials, and condition as available
• Pipe slopes and inverts
• Location of house laterals -both upper and lower
The system then undergoes general inspection (described below in Sections 2.4.1 to 2.4.4)which
serves to continuously update and add to the inventory information.
The next step in the capacity evaluation is to identify the location of wet weather related SSOs,
surcharged lines,basement backups, and any
other areas of known capacity limitations.
These areas warrant further investigation in
the form of flow and rainfall monitoring and
inspection procedures to identify and r '�
quantify the problem. The reviewer should s' ;; '
determine that the capacity evaluation •

2.4.1 Flow Monitoring
Fundamental information about the collection system is obtained by flow monitoring. Flow
monitoring provides information on dry weather flows as well as areas of the collection system
potentially affected by I/I. Flow measurement may also be performed for billing purposes, to
assess the need for new sewers in a certain area, or to calibrate a model. There are three
techniques commonly used for monitoring flow rates: (1)permanent and long-term, (2)
temporary, and (3) instantaneous. Permanent installations are done at key points in the collection
system such as the discharge point of a satellite collection system,pump stations, and key
junctions. Temporary monitoring consists of flow meters typically installed for 30-90 days.
Instantaneous flow metering is performed by collection system personnel, one reading is taken
and then the measuring device is removed. The collection system owner or operator should have
a flow monitoring plan that describes their flow monitoring strategy or should at least be able to
provide the following information:
• Purpose of the flow monitoring
• Location of all flow meters
• Type of flow meters
• Flow meter inspection and calibration frequency
A flow monitoring plan should provide for routine inspection, service, and calibration checks (as
opposed to actual calibration). In some cases,the data is calibrated rather than the flow meter.
Checks should include taking independent water level (and ideally velocity readings), cleaning
accumulated debris and silt from the flow meter area, downloading data(sometimes only once
per month), and checking the desiccant and battery state. Records of each inspection should be
maintained.
Flow measurements performed for the purpose of quantifying I/I are typically separated into
three components: base flow, infiltration, and inflow. Base flow is generally taken to mean the
wastewater generated without any I/I component. Infiltration is the seepage of groundwater into
pipes or manholes through defects such as cracks,broken joints,etc. Inflow is the water which
enters the sewer through direct connections such as roof leaders, direct connections from storm
drains or yard, area, and foundation drains,the holes in and around the rim of manhole covers,
etc. Many collection system owners or operators add a third classification: rainfall induced
infiltration(RII). RII is stormwater that enters the collection system through defects that lie so
close to the ground surface that they are easily reached.Although not from piped sources, RII
tends to act more like inflow than infiltration.
In addition to the use of flow meters,which may be expensive for a small owner or operator,
other methods of inspecting flows may be employed such as visually monitoring manholes
during low-flow periods to determine areas with excessive I/I. For a very small system, this
technique may be an effective and low lcost means of identifying problem areas in the system
which require further investigation.

Guide for Evaluating CMOM Programs at Sanitary Sewer Collection Systems
The owner or operator should have in place a program for the efficient identification of
excessive I/I. The program should look at the wastewater treatment plant,pump stations,
permanent meter flows, and rainfall data to characterize peaking factors for the whole system
and major drainage basins. The reviewer should evaluate the program including procedures and
records associated with the flow monitoring plan. Temporary meters should be used on a
"roving"basis to identify areas with high wet weather flows. Areas with high wet weather flows
should then be subject to inspection and rehabilitation activities.
2.4.2 Sewer System Testing
Sewer system testing techniques are often used to identify leaks which allow unwanted
infiltration into the sewer system and determine the location of illicit connections and other
sources of stormwater inflow. Two commonly implemented techniques include smoke testing
and dyed water testing. Regardless of the program(s)implemented by the owner or operator, the
reviewer should evaluate any procedures and records that have been established for these
programs. The reviewer should also evaluate any public relations program and assess how the
owner or operator communicates with the public during these tests (i.e.,when there is a
possibility of smoke entering a home or building).
Smoke testing is a relatively inexpensive and quick
method of detecting sources of inflow in sewer Areas Usually Smoke Tested

usually via a manhole. Sources of inflow can then Faulty service connections
be identified when smoke escapes through them.
If the collection system owner or operator implements a regular program of smoke testing,the
program should include a public notification procedure. The owner or operator should also have
procedures to define:
• How line segments are isolated
• The maximum amount of line to be smoked at one time
• The weather conditions in which smoke testing is conducted(i.e.,no rain or snow, little
wind and daylight only)
The results of positive smoke tests should be documented with carefully labeled photographs.
Building inspections are sometimes conducted as part of a smoke testing program and, in some
cases, may be the only way to find illegal connections. If properly connected to the sanitary
sewer system, smoke should exit the vent stacks of the surrounding properties. If traces of the

Guide for Evaluating CMOM Programs at Sanitary Sewer Collection Systems
smoke or its odor enter the building, it is an indication that gases from the sewer system may
also be entering. Building inspections can be labor intensive and require advanced preparation
and communication with the public.
Dyed water testing may be used to establish the connection of a fixture or appurtenance to the
sewer. It is often used to confirm smoke testing or to test fixtures that did not smoke. As is the
case with smoke testing, it is not used on a routine basis but rather in areas that have displayed
high wet weather flows. Dyed water testing can be used to identify structurally damaged
manholes that might create potential I/I problems. This is accomplished by flooding the area
close to the suspected manholes with dyed water and checking for entry of dyed water at the
frame-chimney area, cone/corbel, and walls of the manhole.
2.4.3 Sewer System Inspection
Visual inspection of manholes and pipelines are the first line of defense in the identification of
existing or potential problem areas. Visual inspections should take place on both a scheduled
basis and as part of any preventive or corrective maintenance activity. Visual inspections provide
additional information concerning the accuracy of system mapping, the presence and degree of
I/I problems, and the physical state-of-repair of the system. By observing the manhole directly
and the incoming and outgoing lines with a mirror, it is possible to determine structural
condition, the presence of roots, condition of
joints, depth of debris in the line, and depth of
flow. The reviewer should examine the 'r;

Guide for Evaluating CMOM Programs at Sanitary Sewer Collection Systems
Manholes should undergo routine inspection typically every one to five years. There should be a
baseline for manhole inspections (e.g., once every two years)with problematic manholes being
inspected more frequently. The reviewer should conduct visual observation at a small but
representative number of manholes for the items listed above.
There are various pipeline inspection techniques, the most common include: lamping, camera
inspection, sonar, and CCTV. These will be explained further in the following sections.
24.3.1 Sewer System Inspection Techniques
Sewer inspection is an important component of any maintenance program. There are a number of
inspection techniques that may be employed to inspect a sewer system. The reviewer should
determine if a inspection program includes frequency and schedule of inspections and
procedures to record the results. Sewer system cleaning should always be considered before
inspection is performed in order to provide adequate clearance and inspection results.
Additionally, a reviewer should evaluate records maintained for inspection activities including if
information is maintained on standardized logs and should include:
• Location and identification of line being inspected
• Pipe size and type
• Name of personnel performing inspection
• Distance inspected
• Cleanliness of the line
• Condition of the manhole with pipe defects identified by footage from the starting
manhole
• Results of inspection, including estimates of I/I
Lamping involves lowering a still camera into a manhole. The camera is lined up with the
centerline of the junction of the manhole frame and sewer. A picture is the taken down the pipe
with a strobe-like flash. A disadvantage of this technique is that only the first 10-12 feet of the
pipe can be inspected upstream and downstream of the access point. Additionally, it has limited
use in small diameter sewers. The benefits of this technique include not requiring confined space
entry and little equipment and set-up time is required.
Camera inspection is more comprehensive then lamping in that more of the sewer can be
viewed. A still camera is mounted on a floatable raft and released into a pipe. The camera takes
pictures with a strobe-like flash as it floats through the sewer pipe. This technique is often
employed in larger lines where access points are far apart. Similarly to lamping,portions of the
pipe may still be missed using this technique. Obviously,there also must be flow in the pipe for
the raft to float. This technique also does not fully capture the invert of the pipe and its condition.
Sonar is a newer technology deployed similarly to CCTV cameras, described in more detail
below. The sonar emits a pulse which bounces off the walls of the sewer. The time it takes for
2-40

Case 1:12-cv-24400-FAM Document 25-4 Entered on FLSD Docket 06/06/2013 Page 51 of
126
Guide for Evaluating CMOM Programs at Sanitary Sewer Collection Systems
this pulse to bounce back provides data providing an image of the interior of the pipe including
its structural condition. A benefit of this technique is that it can be used in flooded or
inaccessible sections of the sewer. The drawback is that the technique requires heavy and
expensive equipment.
Sewer scanner and evaluation is an experimental technology where a 360 degree scanner
produces a full digital picture of the interior of the pipe. This technique is similar to sonar in that
a more complete image of a pipe can be made than with CCTV, but not all types of sewer defects
may be identified as readily(i.e., infiltration, corrosion).
Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) inspections are a helpful tool for early detection of potential
problems. This technique involves a closed-circuit camera with a light which is self-propelled or
pulled down the pipe. As it moves it records the interior of the pipe. CCTV inspections may be
done on a routine basis as part of the preventive maintenance program as well as part of an
investigation into the cause of I/I. CCTV,however, eliminates the hazards associated with
confined space entry. The output is displayed on a monitor and videotaped. A benefit of CCTV
inspection is that a permanent visual record is captured for subsequent reviews.
2.5 Sewer System Rehabilitation
The collection system owner or operator should have a sewer rehabilitation program. The
objective of sewer rehabilitation is to maintain the overall viability of a collection system. This is
done in three ways: (1) ensuring its structural integrity; (2)limiting the loss of conveyance and
wastewater treatment capacity due to excessive 1/I; and(3) limiting the potential for groundwater
contamination by controlling exfiltration from the pipe network. The rehabilitation program
should build on information obtained as a result of all forms of maintenance and observations
made as part of the capacity evaluation and asset inventory to assure the continued ability of the
system to provide sales and service at the least cost. The reviewer should try to gain a sense of
how rehabilitation is prioritorized. Priorities may be stated in the written program or may be
determined through interviews with system personnel.
There are many rehabilitation methods. The choice of methods depends on pipe size,type,
location, dimensional changes, sewer flow,material deposition, surface conditions, severity of
I/I, and other physical factors.Non-structural repairs typically involve the sealing of leaking
joints in otherwise sound pipe.
Structural repairs involve either the replacement of all or a portion of a sewer line, or the lining
of the sewer. These repairs can be carried out by excavating usually for repairs limited to one or
two pipe segments (these are known as point repairs) or by trenchless technologies(in which
repair is carried out via existing manholes or a limited number of access excavations).
The rehabilitation program should identify the methods that have been used in the past, their
success rating and methods to be used in the future. An reviewer who wants further guidance on
methods of rehabilitation may consult:

AR
The reviewer should determine the owner's or
operator's policies regarding service lateral111:1
rehabilitation since service laterals can
constitute a serious source of I/I. Manholes 111111.1011
should not be neglected in the rehabilitation
program. Manhole covers can allow significant
inflow to enter the system because they are
often located in the path of surface runoff.
Manholes themselves can also be a significant
source of infiltration from cracks in the barrel
of the manhole.
The owner or operator should be able to produce documentation on the location and methods used
for sewer rehabilitation. The reviewer should compare the rehabilitation accomplished with that
recommended by the capacity evaluation program. When examining the collection system
rehabilitation program,the reviewer should be able to answer the following questions:
• Is rehabilitation taking place before it becomes emergency maintenance?
• Are recommendations made as a result of the previously described inspections?
• Does the rehabilitation program take into account the age and condition of the sewers?

Introduction
Many collection systems have received minimal maintenance for many years. This has
resulted in deteriorated sewers with a high potential for overflows, cave-ins,hydraulic overloads
at treatment plants, and other problems. There are two central reasons for conducting an
evaluation of a municipal collection system:
Public and Environmental Health •
Sanitary sewer overflows(SSOs)are a frequent cause of
water quality violations. Beach closings, flooded
basements, closed shellfish beds, and overloaded water
treatment plants are a few of the symptoms of an _
inadequate collection system. Streams influenced by _
frequent SSOs support only the hardiest of species.
Legal Considerations
A discharge permit issued through the National
r its
Pollutant Discharge Elimination System (NPDES)
41
requires that the"permittee shall at all times
properly operate and maintain all facilities and
systems of treatment and control(and related
appurtenances)that are installed or used by the
permittee to achieve compliance with the
conditions of this permit." SSOs may be
considered a violation of this permit provision.
SSOs may also be considered an unpermitted discharge of pollutants from a point source,
as defined in the Clean Water Act.
A goal of the collection system evaluation should be to discover if a utility is plagued by
overflows and/or bypasses within its system of conveyance to a treatment facility. If so, what are
the impacts? Is the utility aware of the problem?Are they taking appropriate steps to address the
problem in a timely manner and prevent future reoccurrence?
Page 746 of 1707
Case 1:12-cv-24400-FAM Document 25-5 Entered on FLSD Docket 06/06/2013 Page 3 of 53
Management
The first stop on any evaluation should be the"home office." This ! �\
location is a point of administration, and may include functions such as . !�
utility management, finance, engineering, planning, procurement, �L 14.1
warehousing, personnel, or legal review. In a large city,this work may be 06-KS
split between different departments. A small town may have only one or
two people doing some of these activities. Much of the information
needed from this source can be obtained before the evaluation by a written request. Areas of
review should include:
V Financial Administration
EPA and others have published guidance on the financial aspects of operating a
wastewater utility. This is the single most important aspect of utility operation. Inadequate
funding diminishes the chances for success.
User Rate/User Charge
• What are the utility's current rates?
• How are user rates calculated?
• How often are user charges adjusted based on that evaluation? L._'Vs
• Does the utility receive full funding from its revenue?
• Are utility funds used for other government activities?
Budget
The utility should be operating on an annual budget that details funding for all functions.
• Does the utility budget for annual operating costs?
•I
— _ . • Does the budget provide sufficient itemization?
_— - ' • Does the utility maintain a fund for future equipment and
= infrastructure replacement? How is work financed?

Page 747 of 1707
Case 1:12-cv-24400-FAM Document 25-5 Entered on FLSD Docket 06/06/2013 Page 4 of 53
• Does the budget provide for sufficient funding?
Public Education/Outreach
r
The utility should be talking with the public on issues
11111
such as user rates and charges. It is up to the utility to
educate the public on wastewater treatment, its impact
on water resources, and the importance of keeping the user rates current. By maximizing
resources and operating facilities efficiently,the utility may be able to delay increases in
user rates for a short time. Adjustments for more efficient operation should be made
before approaching the public on these issues.
• What type of public education/outreach programs does the utility have about the use of
income from utility rates?
• Do these programs include communication with several groups such as local
governments, community groups, the media, young people (schools, youth
organizations)?
i/ Personnel Administration
Organization
• Is an organizational chart available which shows the various positions budgeted and
filled?
• Are position descriptions available?
Operator Safety Program
A utility can have several levels of a safety program. It should consist of top
administration, a safety department, a safety committee, and field personnel. For a small
utility,top administration could be the mayor while a
large utility could employ a personnel manager. All
utilities should have a safety program that includes a SAFETY
safety policy, safety training and promotion, and
accident investigation and reporting. FIRST
• Is there a documented safety program supported by
a top administration official?
• Is there a safety department that provides training,
Page 3 of 22
Page 748 of 1707
Case 1:12-cv-24400-FAM Document 25-5 Entered on FLSD Docket 06/06/2013 Page 5 of 53
equipment, and an evaluation of procedures?
• Are all operators required to follow safe work procedures, such as the use of protective
clothing and headgear, confined spaces, lock-out/tag-out policies, etc.?
• Is there a confined space entry procedure for manholes, wet wells, etc.?
• How often are safety procedures reviewed and revised?
• Does the safety department communicate with field personnel on safety by a
procedures memo, direct communication, a video, etc.?
✓ Equipment and Tools Administration
The amount and types of equipment and tools held by a
utility depend on the size, age, and condition of the system. The
decision as to the type and amount of equipment to
have on hand is a difficult one. A small utility may
find it hard to justify the purchase of expensive,
specialized equipment. The utility must identify
the problems in the collection system and arrange for the
appropriate tools and equipment accordingly. An alternative
to purchasing is leasing, contracting, or sharing costs with other communities.
• Is there a list of equipment and tools used for operation
and maintenance?
• Do field personnel feel they have access to the necessary equipment and tools to do all
aspects of the operation and maintenance of its collection system?
• Is there access to suitable equipment if the utility's equipment is down for repair?
• Does the utility own or have ready access to a sufficient number of emergency power
generators?
• Where does the utility store its equipment?
• Is a detailed equipment maintenance log kept?
• Are written equipment maintenance procedures available?

Page 749 of 1707
Case 1:12-cv-24400-FAM Document 25-5 Entered on FLSD Docket 06/06/2013 Page 6 of 53
• What is the procedure for equipment replacement?
• If an in-house motor pool is used,what is the turnaround time for service?
Equipment that has reached its useful life should be replaced. To reduce the
financial burden of equipment replacement, a fund should be established for equipment
replacement. A utility should keep detailed records on the cost of operating the
equipment to make good decisions about equipment replacement.
V Legal Administration
The utility should have legal documents to protect its collection system.
Typically, sewer ordinances exist to satisfy Clean Water Act pretreatment regulations and
to assure the utility's compliance with its NPDES permit. A legally sound sewer
ordinance will give the utility retribution when corrosive and/or toxic materials are
introduced into the collection system. Another
important element is a grease control ordinance. Grease
traps should be inspected by the utility for compliance.
Some utilities choose to permit each trap owner.
• Is there a sewer use and a grease control ordinance?
• Is there active enforcement of the sewer and
grease control ordinances?
• Are all grease traps inspected regularly?
• How does the utility learn of new or existing
grease traps?
• Who is responsible for enforcing the sewer ordinance and grease ordinance? Does this
party communicate with the utility department on a regular basis?
• Are there any significant industrial dischargers to the system?
• Is there a pretreatment program in place?

✓ Engineering Administration
System Mapping and As-Built Plans
rb:,
The utilityshould have an overall mapof the collection
system with sufficient detail to allow easy interpretation. \�
There should be a collection system inventory organized by •
plant service areas that include the following information:
Gravity Lines: Lineal feet by diameter
Manholes: Number
Pump Stations: Number by type
Force Mains: Lineal feet by diameter
Air Release Valves: Number and location
Inverted Syphons: Number and location
Other Major Appurtenances: Number and location
Service Population By facility service area
A sewer atlas detailing the location of the above items should be available. The type of
sewer atlas used by the utility will depend on their needs and resources. A large
metropolitan utility may find that a sophisticated, computerized mapping system is
required. A small community may be satisfied with a hand-drafted version.
• What type of mapping/inventory system is used?
• Is there a procedure for recording changes and updating the mapping system?
Mapping and inventory revisions should occur when there are changes in the collection
system such as additions or repairs. Comprehensive maps of the system should be printed
annually for large utilities, and a staff of "mappers"will likely be required to keep the
maps up to date. Utilities may alternatively choose to contract map
services. This is especially true if much catch-up work is required.
Design and Capacity Analysis
Through the interview and document review process,the
evaluator should discover design procedures and the criteria
needed for new work. In particular,the evaluator should
discover how the utility determines the adequacy of the existing FZ:
system for transmitting and treating future flows. The evaluator
should discover what control the utility has over new connections to
the system.

Page 751 of 1707
Case 1:12-cv-24400-FAM Document 25-5 Entered on FLSD Docket 06/06/2013 Page 8 of 53
• Is there a document which details the design criteria and standard construction details.
for gravity sewers, force mains, and pump stations?
• Is there a document that describes the procedures that the utility follows in conducting
a design review? Are there any standard forms that guide the utility?
• What procedures are used in determining whether the existing sewer system capacity is
adequate for new connections?
• Is any flow metering accomplished prior to allowing new connections?
• Is there a mathematical model of flow in the system used to predict the effects of new
connections?
• Is any certification required which attests capacity is available for a new connection
before it is made?
Construction
Through the interview and document review process,
the evaluator should determine what procedures the
utility uses to inspect and test new construction. '`These activities are important to ensure that new
facilities do not contribute to future operation and
maintenance problems. Excessive infiltration and = -
inflow problems can exist with new construction if
not properly built.
• Is there a document that describes the procedures that the utility follows in conducting
their construction inspection and testing program? Are there any standard forms that
guide the utility in conducting their construction inspection and testing program?
• Is new construction inspected by the utility or others?
• What are the qualifications of the inspector(s)?
• Is inspection supervision provided by a registered Professional Engineer?
• How is new construction tested? (air, water, weirs, etc.)
• Is new construction televised using closed-circuit camera techniques?
• Is new construction built to standard specs set by the local utility and/or the State?

Page 752 of 1707
Case 1:12-cv-24400-FAM Document 25-5 Entered on FLSD Docket 06/06/2013 Page 9 of 53
• Is there a warranty for new construction? If so, is there a warranty inspection done at
the end of this period?
Sewer System Evaluation Survey(SSES) and Rehabilitation
The SSES and sewer rehabilitation program is a structured methodology for finding the
holes in a system and fixing them. Cost analysis is the major factor in determining the
scope of rehabilitation. Due to the requirements of EPA's Construction Grants Program,
many systems did evaluation surveys as a condition of their grant.
Some systems also received grant funds for rehabilitation.
The SSES is a two-phase operation. The first phase is to gather
preliminary information and technical data. Flow monitoring,
records and map evaluations, and system inspection are some
of the tasks to be completed. Prioritizing areas for further
evaluation is the end result of phase one. :_
The second phase is to conduct further testing of the prioritized 1.
sewer areas identified in the preliminary phase and analyze
these results. Rehabilitation recommendations based on a cost-
effective analysis is the end result of phase two and concludes
the SSES.
Rehabilitation may consist of a variety of techniques designed
to reduce inflow and infiltration into the sewer system. Many
methods are available with highly variable costs and service
lives. Rehabilitation costs are usually significantly less than replacement costs.
SSES and rehabilitation activities are best described as a highly intensive program of
operation and maintenance. Because over time many utilities have neglected proactive
operation and maintenance of their sewer systems, these activities are often used to
"catch-up"to a condition which can be maintained on a regular basis. Many of the
techniques used in SSES and rehabilitation activities are described in the Operation and
Maintenance section of this document, and should also be elements found in a proactive
operation and maintenance program.
• Have SSES activities been performed in the past? If so, is documentation available?
• Has any sewer rehabilitation work been done in the past 15 years?
• How many sanitary sewer overflows have occurred in the last year?
• Is there a record?

Case 1:12-cv-24400-FAM Document 25-5 Entered on FLSD Docket 06/06/2013 Page 10 of 53
V Water Quality Monitoring
Monitoring streams in the service areas can help identify problems in the collection
system such as leaking pipes,washed-out stream crossings, and other pollution sources which
could be attributed to the sewer system. Fecal
Coliform is a common parameter monitored to detect _
potential contamination from sewers.
• Is there a water quality monitoring
program in the service areas? —
• If so,what parameters are monitored
and at what frequency?
• How many locations are monitored?
V Management Information Systems
A management information system uses data from work reports prepared by field
personnel to optimize the operation and maintenance of the collection system. A powerful tool,
the information system is used as an aide to schedule preventive and reactive work on the system.
It can also be used to measure efficiency, and track and develop costs.
• What types of work reports are prepared by the field personnel?
Examples include:
-Main Sewer Construction
-Main Sewer Maintenance
-Main Sewer Repair
- Structure Maintenance
- Structure Repair or Abandonment
-Building Sewer Maintenance
-Building Sewer Repair
• Do the work reports include complete and useful information?
• How are records kept?
• Does the facility use computer software to manage information? If so, what type of
systems are used?

Page 754 of 1707
Case 1:12-cv-24400-FAM Document 25-5 Entered on FLSD Docket 06/06/2013 Page 11 of 53
• What kind of management reports are generated from the work report data?
Examples include:
- Payroll
- Production
- Work Costs
- System Inventory
- Main line maintenance history
- Service line maintenance history
- Main and service line repair history
Performance Indicators
Performance indicators are used to determine the condition of the system. These
indicators are not absolute because there may be other reasons to suggest a less than
adequate system condition. However, if several of the factors indicate possible problems,
further investigation is warranted.
• What is the per capita wastewater flow for the maximum month, week, and day?
EPA considers Infiltration/Inflow (I/I) to be excessive if the total daily flow during
periods of high groundwater exceeds 120 gallons per capita per day (gpcd), and
during a storm event exceeds 275 gpcd.
• What is average annual BOD of the treatment facility influent?
An average of much less than 200 mg/L may indicate excessive I/I.
• What is the ratio of maximum wet weather flow to average dry weather flow?
A review of 10 case studies by EPA found that peak wet weather flow ranged
from 3.5 to 20 times the average dry weather flow. Typically,as the ratio
approaches 4 to 5, the likelihood of surcharge and overflow increases.
• What is the annual number of overflows, and what are the causes (i.e., grease
blockages, debris blockages, pump malfunctions, overloaded sewers, lift station power
loss, etc.)?
• What is the annual number of sewer cave-ins? What were the causes(i.e.,pipe
corrosion, root intrusion, leaks, etc.)

Case 1:12-cv-24400-FAM Document 25-5 Entered on FLSD Docket 06/06/2013 Page 12 of 53
V Complaints
• How are public complaints handled?
• What are the common complaints received?
• How often are these complaints reported?
• Is there a record?
• Does the utility have a procedure in place to evaluate and respond to complaints?
V Public Relations
• Is there a public relations program in place?
• Are the employees of the utility trained in public relations?
• What type of public notification is given for treatment plant upsets or collection system
overflows?
• Is the public notified prior to major construction or maintenance work?
• How often does the utility communicate with other municipal departments?
V Emergency Maintenance and/or Contingency Plans
• Does the utility have a written emergency maintenance plan?
• What type of equipment does the utility have available for emergency maintenance?
How quickly can the utility access that equipment in case of an emergency?
V Spare Parts Inventory Management
• Does the utility have a central location for the storage of spare parts?
• Have spare parts which are difficult to obtain,but critical to operation been identified?
• Does the utility maintain a stock of common spare parts on its maintenance vehicles?

• What methods are employed to keep track of the location, usage, and reordering of
spare parts? Are parts logged out when taken by maintenance personnel for use?
• Does the utility salvage specific equipment parts when equipment is placed out of
service and not replaced?
• How often does the utility conduct a check of the inventory of parts to ensure their
tracking system is working?
• Who has the responsibility to track the inventory?
Operation and Maintenance
The operation and maintenance(O&M) of a wastewater collection system is a difficult
undertaking. Besides keeping the system in good working order, a proper O&M program should
convey all wastewater to the treatment plant. A well-operated system will employ many, if not
all, of the techniques described in this section.
V Maintenance Scheduling
• Does the utility schedule its maintenance
activities?
• How are priorities determined?
eT
• How is the effectiveness of the maintenance
schedule measured?
V Sewer Cleaning
Sewer utilities have been cleaning lines for a long time. Most sewer cleaning programs
have been directed towards emergency situations which occur due to stoppages. A better O&M
program will have regular cleaning schedules for the system.
• Is there a routine schedule established for cleaning sewer lines on a system-wide basis
(e.g.,"once every seven to twelve years,"or"between 8% and 14%per year"?

Page 757 of 1707
Case 1:12-cv-24400-FAM Document 25-5 Entered on FLSD Docket 06/06/2013 Page 14 of 53
• Is there a process present to identify sewer line segments that have chronic problems
and that should be cleaned on a more frequent schedule?
Cleaning Equipment
Mechanical cleaning equipment, such as a rodding device or bucket machine,has been
the mainstay of utility cleaning operations for a long time. Though this type of equipment
is still in use,hydraulic cleaning equipment which uses water pressure directed through a
nozzle has generally replaced the need for mechanical equipment.
• What type of cleaning equipment does the sewer utility use?
• How many cleaning units of each type does the utility have?
• How many cleaning crews and shifts does the utility employ?
• How many cleaning crews are dedicated to routine cleaning?
• How many cleaning crews are dedicated to emergency cleaning?
• What has the utility's experience been regarding pipe damage caused by mechanical
cleaning equipment?
• Where is the cleaning equipment stationed?
Chemical Cleaning and Root Removal
Roots are a major cause of stoppages in many systems, so root removal and control is an
important utility operation.
• Does the utility have a root control program?
• Are chemical cleaners used?What types?
• How often are they applied?
• How are the chemical cleaners applied?
• What results are achieved through the use of chemical cleaners?

Case 1:12-cv-24400-FAM Document 25-5 Entered on FLSD Docket 06/06/2013 Page 15 of 53
✓Hydrogen Sulfide Monitoring and Control
The presence of hydrogen sulfide gas in gravity and pressure sewer lines can, and often
does, lead to serious and catastrophic corrosion of concrete pipes and the metallic components of
sewer systems. Hydrogen sulfide corrosion is usually a problem in areas having little
topographic relief where there may be long travel times. Hydrogen sulfide corrosion can also be
a problem downstream from pump stations having long wet well holding times.
• Are odors a frequent source of complaints?
• Has the sewer utility verified the existence/non-existence of a hydrogen sulfide
problem, and if one is present, does it have in place corrosion control programs?
• What are the major elements of the utility's
program?
A control program could be use of chemicals or
aeration to prevent the formation of hydrogen sulfide.
Pipe materials which resists corrosion are also effective. 40011
Often, a combination of approaches will be included in
a program.
V Lift Stations
Lift stations are an important part of most wastewater systems. In coastal or other areas
with little topographical relief, lift stations are a major O&M item. The effects of deteriorated
collection systems are often realized at lift stations in the form of severe overflows during rain
events.
Operation
• How many personnel are detailed to pump station
operations and maintenance?
• Are these personnel assigned full-time or part-time to
pump station duties? NENENE .
• Is there sufficient redundancy of equipment?
Emergencies
• Who responds to lift station overflows? How are they notified?
Page 14 of 22
Page 759 of 1707
Case 1:12-cv-24400-FAM Document 25-5 Entered on FLSD Docket 06/06/2013 Page 16 of 53
• How is loss of power at a station dealt with? (e.g., on-site electrical generators,
alternate power source,portable electric generators)
Alarms and Monitoring
• How are lift stations monitored?
The answer to this question will depend on the station size, and the size and complexity
of the system. In many systems, audible alarms or flashing lights are used to indicate a
problem at the station. Reliance is placed on either the local populace or law enforcement
to notice and report an alarm. In more modernized systems, alarm conditions are
remotely monitored at a central location. This is particularly true for the larger stations.
These SCADA(Supervisory Control and Data Acquisition) systems allow for real-time
control,monitoring, and record keeping from remote locations.
Inspection
• How often are lift stations visited?
411L1100\144‘
• What is inspected during these visits?
• Is there a checklist?
Preventative and Routine Maintenance
• Is there a preventive maintenance program for lift station equipment, and if so,what is
involved in this program?
• Is an adequate parts inventory maintained for all equipment?
• Is there a sufficient number of trained personnel to properly maintain all stations?
Record keeping
• Are O&M logs maintained for all pump stations?
• Are manufacturer's specifications and equipment manuals available for all equipment?
• Are run-times or ampere readings recorded for all pumps?How is this information
used to assess performance?

Case 1:12-cv-24400-FAM Document 25-5 Entered on FLSD Docket 06/06/2013 Page 17 of 53
Force Mains and Air Release/Vacuum Valves
Force mains and air release/vacuum valves are an integral part of the transmission system.
Force mains receive the lift station effluent and convey it to the gravity system or the
treatment plant. Air release/vacuum valves are installed at the high points of the force
main.
The route of force mains should be inspected regularly in order to determine if any leaks
are present. This is particularly true where the route is through remote areas. Air
release/vacuum valves should be identified and receive regular documented maintenance.
Malfunctions of these valves can lead to overflows and/or a reduced hydraulic capacity of
the force main.
• Does the utility schedule and conduct inspections of force main routes?
• Does the utility have a scheduled maintenance/inspection program for air
release/vacuum valves?
✓ Sewer System Evaluation
As discussed in the Management section, many of the techniques in use for SSES work
should be a part of a utility's operation and maintenance program. Larger utilities can justify the
purchase of much of the equipment used in this effort.
Flow Monitoring
Flow monitoring data collection and evaluation should be an important part of
a good O&M program. A well-designed flow monitoring program will give a
snapshot of the current condition of the system. By isolating the portions of
f the system that are making the greatest contribution to the problem,
'� --=Ji- resources can be directed where they will be of greatest benefit.
Techniques used to monitor flow include continuous metering,
nighttime field measurements, quantification of pump run-times,
__
_,:. and flow measurements taken at the treatment plant. Continuous
__— _ flow measurement at key locations throughout the collection
system will give the most accurate indication of system integrity.
The other techniques have been used to some advantage with
smaller systems.
Use of meters which measure depth of flow and velocity will allow accurate results, even
under surcharged conditions. Meters are available which allow continuous data recording
Page 16 of 22
Page 761 of 1707
Case 1:12-cv-24400-FAM Document 25-5 Entered on FLSD Docket 06/06/2013 Page 18 of 53
which can either be downloaded locally or transmitted to a remote location. Coupled
with appropriate software,this is a powerful tool for sewer system evaluation.
• Does the utility have a flow monitoring program? If so, what methods are used?
Manhole Inspection
Inspecting manholes is an important part of any maintenance program. Often utilities are
unaware of the location of many of their manholes. This is unfortunate since manholes
are an important source of I/I and are good indicators of problems in the system. Missing
manhole lids and offset manhole cones are often the result of sewer overflows. Debris on
manhole steps or high waterlines indicate the presence of surcharged conditions.
Some utilities use manhole inserts to reduce inflow to the system. A manhole insert is a
small, tub-shaped plastic device installed at the top of the manhole and held in position by
the manhole lid. Its purpose is to catch water that enters the manhole via holes in the lid
or via the access pick holes.
• Does the utility have a routine manhole inspection program?
• Is there a data management system for documenting and tracking manhole inspection
activities?
• What triggers whether a manhole needs rehabilitation?
Sewer Cleaning Related to I/I Reduction
• Are sewers cleaned prior to flow monitoring?
• Are sewers cleaned prior to televised inspection?
Televised Inspection
Inspecting sewers using closed-circuit television (CCTV)cameras is a powerful tool for
I/I reduction. Leaking joints or punctures can be easily detected and often repaired at the
time of inspection. CCTV is also a good method to inspect the integrity of new
construction before the warranty expires.
• Does the utility use televised inspection? If so, in what context?
Smoke Testing and Dyed Water Flooding
These techniques are useful to locate defects in the system and illegal connections.
Page 17 of 22
Page 762 of 1707
Case 1:12-cv-24400-FAM Document 25-5 Entered on FLSD Docket 06/06/2013 Page 19 of 53
• Does the utility use smoke testing to identify sources of inflow into the system?
• Does the utility use dyed water flooding to identify suspected sources (indirect
connections)of inflow into the system when smoke testing yields inconclusive results?
• Is there a data management system for tracking these activities?
• Is there a document that describes the procedures that the utility follows? Are there
any standard forms?
✓ Rehabilitation
Several techniques are available for sewer rehabilitation.
A determination of the best techniques to apply to a particular
situation should be made following the SSES and an economic 111414
analysis comparing the different options.
Main Line Repairs
Point and Replacement Repairs
Point repairs consist of repairing cracked, corroded, or broken gravity sewers and
force mains. This work typically includes excavation to the location of the break,
removal of the broken pipe section(s) and replacement with new pipe.
Joint Testing and Grouting
Joint testing and grouting are done on sewer line sections with leaking joints but
no structural defects. This work can be done in conjunction with the routine
televising of lines. Grouting has a limited life and must be repeated every 5-10
years.
Sewer Lining
Sewer lining is a technique which returns pipe to new condition. Many of the
current systems can be used where pipe is structurally deficient. Due to the
limited excavation required for these techniques,they are good choices where
surface construction would cause much disruption.
• What type of main line repairs has the utility used in the past?
• Does the utility currently use any of above techniques for main line repairs?
Page 18 of 22
Page 763 of 1707
Case 1:12-cv-24400-FAM Document 25-5 Entered on FLSD Docket 06/06/2013 Page 20 of 53
Manhole Repairs
Manhole repairs consist of repairing structural defects or leakage in individual manholes
and castings. The structural repair work may include:
-Complete manhole replacement
- Replacing castings (lid and frame)
- Replacing defective adjusting rings or top segments
- Spray relining the existing manhole
- Grouting fissures to eliminate leakage
• What rehabilitation techniques are used for manhole repairs?
• What type of documentation is kept?
✓ Service Laterals
Service laterals can often be the largest source of I/I to a system. Taps,joints, and
locations of structural damage are common points where I/I may be introduced into the collection
system. Most utilities have legally established what part(s) of the service lateral they maintain.
Jurisdiction may cover the tap only, cover all construction to the property line, or cover
construction all the way to the building. The utility itself may not have direct control over
installation of new service laterals. Typically the municipality's building inspectors have this
responsibility. What is important is that there is communication and a consistency of standards
between the utility and building departments.
• To what degree does the utility have responsibility for service laterals?
• Does the utility have a written procedure for the approval and inspection of new
construction service laterals?
• Does the utility require service laterals to meet certain standards of construction? How
are these standards made available to builders?
• Does the utility have a procedure to actively find and remove illegal tap-ins?
• What is the utility's jurisdiction related to repair/replacement of service laterals?
• Does the utility include I/I originating from service laterals as part of their system
evaluations?

✓Alternative Collection Systems
Alternative collection systems differ significantly from the conventional gravity sewer
commonly employed to convey wastewater. Alternative systems include: grinder pump pressure
systems, septic tank effluent pump (STEP) systems, small diameter gravity systems, and vacuum
collection systems. Each system has its own unique operation and maintenance requirements and
could be found as a subset of a system which is predominately gravity sewer or by itself as a
stand-alone utility.
Although each alternative system operates .� L \ ' 4
differently and has different maintenance requirements,
all require a similar management system. In each
system appurtenances are located at each residence, so
the utility needs to have ready access, maintain i
adequate spare parts, and install alarm systems to notify
the utility of any problems between inspections.
Grinder Pump Systems
Grinder systems employ a holding tank(typically up to 100 gallons and located near an
individual residence) which houses a small pump with a grinder attached. Wastewater is
discharged intermittently using float controls. The collection system is comprised mostly
of 11/2" and 2" PVC plastic lines. Manholes are generally not installed,but cleanouts
should be installed at the ends of all lines and at critical points. Air release valves are
installed at the downstream side of high points. Pressures are low.
A system serving 500 homes would include 500 individual pump stations so a utility
needs to have an appropriate staffing level for maintenance. A minimum of two
personnel should be available. Generally speaking, a staff including two full-time
employees per 1,000 stations has been found sufficient for well-designed systems.
Major sources of emergency maintenance include electrical problems and grease buildup
in the holding tanks,resulting in failure of the floats to activate the pumps. Corrosion
within the holding tank can also be a problem. Grinding solids reduces the likelihood of
solids deposition,but hydrogen sulfide may be a problem where the pressure line
discharges to the treatment plant or into a gravity collection system.
Pump preventive maintenance is critical and adequate spare pumps should be in
inventory. Pumps and grinders may require frequent replacement and overhaul. Pump
life is limited and a plan to replace all pumps should be in place. Infiltration is generally
not a problem,but exfiltration may occur through deteriorated joints.

Page 765 of 1707
Case 1:12-cv-24400-FAM Document 25-5 Entered on FLSD Docket 06/06/2013 Page 22 of 53
Septic Tank Effluent Pump Systems
STEP systems are similar to the grinder pump
system except a septic tank replaces the holding tank
and grinders are not present on the pumps.
A greater range in pump types(centrifugal,
progressive cavity, etc.) are common with these --
systems. Although the septic tank provides
preliminary treatment and solids settlement,
it is part of the collection system.
Significant infiltration may occur with poorly sealed and constructed septic tanks. Lines
are generally sized assuming low infiltration rates. High infiltration rates will increase
pump operation and may reduce pump life.
The wastewater is highly septic and can cause odor and corrosion problems where the
pressure line discharges into a conventional manhole or treatment works. Proper
operation and maintenance of the septic tank is essential for proper function of the
collection system, so tanks should be pumped out on a set schedule.
Small Diameter Gravity Sewers
Like STEP systems, small diameter gravity systems use septic tanks for preliminary
treatment and solids removal. However,no pumps are used. The septic tank overflows
into a small diameter(4" and up)pipe placed at a moderate grade. The lower solids
concentration in the wastewater results in less deposition of solids in the pipe.
Cleanouts are generally used in place of manholes, and pipes are sized assuming low
infiltration rates. Similar to the STEP system,the integrity and maintenance of the septic
tank is a critical factor for proper operation.
Vacuum Sewer Systems
Vacuum systems have a central vacuum station which includes vacuum pumps,holding
tanks, and pressure pumps. The vacuum pumps provide a continuous suction in the
collection line. A holding tank and vacuum valve are installed near each residence.
When the wastewater reaches a set level in the holding tank,the valve is opened to
release a slug of liquid into the collection line. A loss of vacuum in the system will
generally trigger a fault condition. Major breaks may cause the system to shut down, and
leaks are difficult to locate. Once the wastewater arrives at a central vacuum station, it
enters a holding tank and is pumped to the treatment facility through a force main.

INTRODUCTION
A utility should develop an appropriate, comprehensive Management, Operation and
Maintenance (MOM)Program for the sewerage infrastructure (sewer system and wastewater
treatment plant)which it owns and operates. A comprehensive MOM Program is comprised of
individual management, operation, and maintenance programs, each of which:
:> is specific to, and tailored for,the utility's infrastructure;
• has a written purpose explaining why the program is needed; has specific written goal(s)
establishing the accomplishment(s) desired for the current fiscal year;
• has the details of the activities and procedures that are followed to implement the program
written down in the form of Standard Management Procedures(SP), Standard Operating
Procedures (SOP), and/or Standard Maintenance Procedures(SMP)that are used by the
utility's personnel;
➢ is implemented by well-trained personnel; has established appropriate performance measures
which are tracked by management; and,
r� has a written procedure requiring periodic review, evaluation, and any necessary revision.
An important concept is that MOM programs are utility-specific. Most, if not all,of the programs
described in this guide are based on actual programs observed at proactive utilities. However,utilities
may have different titles for the various MOM programs described in this guide and may have them
organized very differently. Some utilities may be organized in a way that they consolidate some of the
MOM programs described in this guide,or they may exclude part of a program described in this guide
because of justifiable circumstances. Utilities may also have additional MOM programs that are not
contained in this guide.
Tailored to the Utility
The utility should have programs tailored to match its geographic,physical,and climatic conditions;
level of complexity;infrastructure configuration;and level of sophistication.Utilities may also have
a number of their MOM programs implemented through a managed contract rather than by their
own trained personnel.
Program Purpose
The purpose of a given MOM program is the reason why the program is needed and why it exists.
Example: The purpose our utility's smoke testing program is to identify sources of inflow our
sewer system that need to be eliminated so that we can regain some of our peak flow capacity.
Program Goal
The individual program goal(s)establishes the accomplishments desired for the given MOM
program during the upcoming fiscal year.
Example:The goal our smoke testing program for this fiscal year is to reclaim system peak
1
Page 772 of 1707
Case 1:12-cv-24400-FAM Document 25-5 Entered on FLSD Docket 06/06/2013 Page 29 of 53
capacity, and to reduce treatment plant hydraulic loading by identifying sources of inflow to
the system by conducting investigations in the ABC and DEF sewersheds. This goal will be
accomplished in a cost-effective manner using our personnel and by using a contractor.
Program Documentation
The program documentation specifies, in writing,the specific details of the activities and
procedures that personnel follow to implement the program.Program documentation should be
maintained in a central location and made available to all personnel.
Example: Our utility has a long-term,ongoing, smoke testing program. The program priorities
and standard operating procedures are contained in a manual entitled"Smoke Testing Program
for Utility X."
Implemented by Trained Personnel
Training programs are established and followed to ensure that utility personnel are well-trained to
implement each program and successfully achieve each program's goals.
Example:All personnel assigned to our smoke testing activity receive three hours of basic
training followed by eighty(80)hours of on-the-job training to assure competency. Our
contract with outside sources to conduct smoke testing requires the contractor to follow our
standard operating procedures.
Performance Measures
Appropriate performance measures should be established for each program and reviewed at
minimum on an annual basis.
Example: During this fiscal year,the performance goal is to smoke test 200,000 lineal feet of
gravity sewer in two sewersheds selected according to our priority procedures. Last year,we
exceeded our performance goal of 178,000 lineal feet of gravity sewer by smoke testing
193,000 lineal feet.As a result,623 defects were identified and passed on to our rehabilitation
and private service lateral programs for correction.
Periodic Evaluation
An evaluation by utility management should occur for each program,annually at minimum,to evaluate
how well a program accomplished the program goals established at the beginning of the period and to
determine whether the program, as presently implemented, is using the most efficient approach.
Remedies should be identified and scheduled to correct any deficiencies. Questions the evaluation
should answer are:
➢ Are there program design,resource or implementation deficiencies that keep the program from
achieving its performance measures?
Are these program deficiencies leading to sanitary sewer overflows,permit violations or other
2
Page 773 of 1707
Case 1:12-cv-24400-FAM Document 25-5 Entered on FLSD Docket 06/06/2013 Page 30 of 53
Clean Water Act violations?
➢ Are there program deficiencies leading to decreased customer service and/or unwarranted
deterioration of utility assets?
Are there changes that should be made to the program that will make its implementation more
efficient, thereby conserving resources for better implementation of other programs?
Example: The smoke testing program has yielded good results during the past four years.
Following our priority criteria,most of the significant inflow problems have been eliminated.
Next year the program will be reduced by 25%and the resources applied to our maintenance of
way program. Peak flows will be monitored at key locations to determine if this reduction in
the smoke testing program will need to be reversed in the future. Additionally, we are
conducting a cost analysis to determine whether we should contract out for all smoke testing
work in the future.

SYSTEM PROFILE AND PERFORMANCE SUMMARY
A proactive utility will maintain a profile of its system as a basis for explaining its situation to
regulatory agencies,the public,and when networking with other utilities. A profile typically contains
basic population and inventory information as well as a recent system performance summary. An
example of a system performance summary is provided on the following page.

APPENDIX D
Capital Projects Work Plan
The Capital Projects Work Plan consists of this narrative and three exhibits: The projects'
descriptions attached as Exhibit D-1 (including the separate list of Asbestos Cement force mains
that make up Project 4.9 and the separate list of individual pump station improvement
descriptions that make up Projects 5.14 through 5.18 inclusive);the projects' schedules with
milestones attached as Exhibit D-2; and the projects' cost schedule attached as Exhibit D-3.
Although the costs of individual projects (identified with a unique project number) are in 2013
dollars,the total cost of individual projects reflect a two percent(2%) annual inflation rate
commencing in FY '14-'15.
Miami-Dade County's Water and Sewer Department("MDWASD"or"the Department")
held three(3)public workshops on September 24, 25 and 27, 2012 in the North, South and
Central areas of the County,respectively,to receive community input on the capital
improvement projects. The Department also solicited written comments on its website. The
Department considered the public's comments prior to finalizing the list of capital projects
shown in Exhibit D-1.
In establishing the schedules for the Capital Projects Work Plan shown in Exhibit D-2,
MDWASD took into consideration operational and project implementation factors which include
sequencing projects to keep the system operational and time to design,procure, construct and
commission the projects.
These schedules reflect the need to maintain the operational viability of the Department's
wastewater collection,pump stations,transmission,treatment and disposal systems in a manner
Page 798 of 1707
Case 1:12-cv-24400-FAM Document 25-6 Entered on FLSD Docket 06/06/2013 Page 2 of 8
that will minimize service interruptions, sanitary sewer overflows or non-compliance with
effluent standards. The sequencing involves limiting the number of functional components that
are out of service at one time at each of the plants and ensuring that flows can be directed away
from plants with limited capacity due to repair and replacement work. This means that the work
must be sequenced among the three plants as well as within each of the plants. Many of the
projects must be done during the dry season when average daily flows are low, so that fact also
extends the schedule for plant repairs. For the purpose of establishing priorities,the Department
factored the criticality of each individual project in the context of public health, welfare and
safety, operational constraints and environmental significance.
Based on this rationale, most of the collection,transmission and pump station projects
have been assigned similarly high priorities and are scheduled to commence at the start of FY
'13 -'14. A major exception to these is the Government Cut project. Phases 1 &2 are currently
budgeted and under construction. In addition,the preliminary design of Phase 3 is currently
underway and is scheduled for completion during FY '12 - '13.
As shown on Exhibit D-2 of this work plan, almost all of the identified wastewater
collection and transmission system projects, together with the wastewater pump stations system
projects, are front-loaded and scheduled for completion within the first five years of the Consent
Decree. The sole exceptions are the Collection System I/I Repairs project and the Replacement
of Asbestos Cement Force Mains project. The former is part of an on-going program for which
we are proposing funding throughout the life of the Consent Decree. Note that the Collection
System I/I Repairs project which includes inspection of approximately six thousand (6,000)
miles of pipe will be performed concurrently with all other work. The Asbestos Cement Force
2
Page 799 of 1707
Case 1:12-cv-24400-FAM Document 25-6 Entered on FLSD Docket 06/06/2013 Page 3 of 8
Main project consists of the replacement of sixty-six (66) individual force mains which are
projected to be completed by the end of the sixth year.
The schedule of each project includes time for engineering design,permitting,
procurement and construction. Although the schedule allocates permitting time of one(1) year
for each project, the actual time to obtain a permit will vary depending on the type and location
of the project. For projects that are located within a municipality,MDWASD or its contractor
must obtain a municipal building permit and has no control over each municipality's
requirements and review time for issuing a permit. Additionally,there may be several types of
permits required, including electrical, mechanical and structural permits. Permits are normally
obtained as part of the design process so that construction bids will reflect the conditions
imposed by permitting authorities for maintenance of traffic, allowable working hours, and site
restoration requirements. Allocating one year should be sufficient time for obtaining all permits
regardless of where the project is located. With regard to procurement,MDWASD intends to
accelerate the County Commission's internal approval process but must comply with Florida's
competitive bidding laws.
Scheduling of capital projects associated with the three(3)regional treatment plants
presents the greatest challenge inasmuch as taking units and/or processes out of service needs to
be done in a way that does not adversely affect the operational capacity of the plants. For this
reason, a large number of these projects needs to be sequenced in a fashion wherein the unit or
process is placed out of service during the dry season,normally from the end of November to the
end of May. Another scheduling variable taken into consideration is the need to divert flows
from one treatment plant to another while work that limits the plant's hydraulic capacity is being
3
Page 800 of 1707
Case 1:12-cv-24400-FAM Document 25-6 Entered on FLSD Docket 06/06/2013 Page 4 of 8
performed. Finally,the State's Ocean Outfall Legislation is another factor to consider in
scheduling the work at the Central and North District WWTPs. The legislation may impact the
work schedule. The Ocean Outfall Legislation currently requires diverting almost all flows from
the outfalls by 2025. This, in turn, requires adding at least High Level Disinfection(filtration
and disinfection)to all of the North and Central District flows. In addition,the legislation
requires significant reuse of these flows. Existing site constraints may well result in the need to
construct one or more entirely new plants in more westerly locations,thereby potentially
requiring alterations to the collection system. This Capital Projects Work Plan assumes that the
existing plants will be overhauled in their present locations, an assumption that may need to be
altered as the outfall plan develops. It is also possible that changes to the Ocean Outfall
Legislation will be made during the next or future legislative sessions, and such changes could
also impact the Work Plan. Although design activities for many of the treatment plants' projects
are scheduled to commence shortly after the Effective Date of the Consent Decree,there are
several projects whose completion extends beyond 10 years after the Effective Date. The
following are explanations for the proposed length and completion dates of these specific
projects.
Project 1.3 - SDWWTP Oxygenation Train Rehabilitation
This project does not start at the beginning of the Consent Decree because recent tank
cleanings,minor structural rehabilitation,mixer replacements for energy efficiency and process
modifications have improved the conditions of these units. However, the oxygenation trains will
require extensive maintenance during the proposed life of the Consent Decree. The construction
phase for the extensive rehabilitation of these units is scheduled for mid-2018,which is well
4
Page 801 of 1707
Case 1:12-cv-24400-FAM Document 25-6 Entered on FLSD Docket 06/06/2013 Page 5 of 8
before deterioration would be severe enough to result in tank failure or compromise the treatment
process. Construction will require seven (7)years for completion because the tanks are a critical
part of secondary treatment that is highly sensitive to hydraulic conditions. Therefore, it is
advisable for these units to be out of service during the dry weather periods of the year.
Additionally, in order to ensure that a tank can be fully rehabilitated during the dry season, and
that firm plant capacity is maintained at all times, only one tank will be rehabilitated per year.
Projects 2.5 and 2.6—Central District WWTP Plants 1 and 2 Oxygenation Train Rehabilitation
The construction phase of these projects will require six (6)years for completion because
the tanks are a critical part of the secondary treatment that is highly sensitive to hydraulic
conditions. Therefore, it is only advisable for these units to be out of service during the dry
weather periods of the year. Additionally, in order to ensure that a tank can be fully rehabilitated
during the dry season, and that firm plant capacity is maintained at all times, only one (1)tank
will be rehabilitated per year.
Projects 2.7, 2.8, 2.9 and 2.10—Central District WWTP Plants 1 and 2 Secondary Clarifiers and
Return Sludge Pump Stations
Currently, fibrous and other material accumulations that include rags, paper, plastic and
hair, and solids deposition result in failure of the sludge collection mechanism in the secondary
clarifiers. The construction phases of the secondary clarifier projects are not scheduled to start
prior to the construction and full operation of the Central District WWTP's headwork project
since this project will target rag and solids removal upstream of the secondary clarifiers.
Under normal circumstances it would be advisable to have only one (1)clarifier out of
service per plant at the Central District WWTP. However,the physical pairing of a return sludge
5
Page 802 of 1707
Case 1:12-cv-24400-FAM Document 25-6 Entered on FLSD Docket 06/06/2013 Page 6 of 8
pump station with the corresponding secondary clarifiers at the Central District WWTP dictates
that two(2) clarifiers and their paired pump station be rehabilitated at the same time for ease of
construction. However,this pairing is also required in case the removal and replacement of
badly corroded return sludge pipes from one clarifier causes damage to the adjacent clarifier's
structure and return sludge pipes. The construction phase for each pair of clarifiers and their
shared return sludge pump station will take approximately one(1)year. Since there are sixteen
(16) secondary clarifiers and eight (8)return sludge pump stations at the Central District WWTP,
the full construction phase of these two (2)projects is eight(8)years.
Projects 2.14 and 2.15—Central District WWTP Plant 1 and 2 Digesters
The level of deterioration and complexity of the anaerobic digesters requires that each
cluster of four(4) digester tanks be taken completely out of service for extensive masonry and
steel structural repairs; complete replacement of pipes, valves, sludge mixing equipment,heat
exchangers and pumps; demolition of failed floating covers and installation of new covers.
Since these units were built at different times,the six(6) digester clusters reflect different design
and construction methods. Accordingly, the rehabilitation of each cluster will require an
individual design effort. For these reasons, the construction phase of each digester cluster has
been conservatively estimated to take the better part of two (2)years. It must be emphasized that
this is an estimated construction time based on similar level of work being performed on each
cluster. Until a detailed design for the rehabilitation required for each digester cluster is
sufficiently complete, a more realistic construction time estimate for each cluster will not be
available. The current estimate for the entire construction phase of all digesters is ten(10)years,
with only one(1) digester cluster taken out of service at a time.

Case 1:12-cv-24400-FAM Document 25-6 Entered on FLSD Docket 06/06/2013 Page 7 of 8
Projects 3.2 and 3.5 —North District WWTP Primary and Secondary Clarifiers
Currently, fibrous and other material accumulations that include rags,paper,plastic and
hair, and solids deposition result in failure of the sludge collection mechanism in the primary and
secondary clarifiers. The construction phase of the clarifier projects is not scheduled to start
until the North District WWTP headwork project is completed because this project will target rag
and solids removal upstream of the primary and secondary clarifiers. Also,the construction
phase for these projects cannot commence until completion of the Central District WWTP's
headwork project because that project will require a substantial diversion of flows to both the
South District WWTP and the North District WWTP. Hence,the North District WWTP's full
capacity must be made available during that time.
Both primary and secondary clarifiers at North District WWTP have a unique feature
among the county's treatment plants in that the tanks are enclosed structures for odor control
purposes. The voluminous metal enclosures create hot, humid and corrosive environments that
attack exposed electrical, mechanical and air handling equipment along with metal and concrete
structures. The resulting impacts are most prevalent in the primary clarifiers as the hydrogen
sulfide concentrations are highest prior to oxidation in the oxygenation trains. For this reason the
primary clarifiers will be rehabilitated prior to the secondary clarifiers. Primary and secondary
clarifiers will not be rehabilitated in tandem as the reduced capacity of primary clarifiers during
construction will cause hydraulic conditions that could result in solids carry over into the
secondary treatment process. Solids carry over would stress the surface loading rate of
secondary clarifiers and the return sludge pumping operations. The additional hydraulic stress of
having secondary clarifiers out of service at the same time will adversely impact activated sludge

rehabilitation.

Appendix E
Supplemental Environmental Project Plan
This Appendix E describes the Supplemental Environmental Project("SEP") to be
performed and funded by Miami-Dade as required by the Consent Decree. Miami-Dade shall
install at least seven thousand six hundred sixty(7,660) linear feet of Gravity Sewer Mains
within an industrial area which currently has no access to sanitary sewers and relies on septic
systems. Disconnecting the industrial users from septic tanks and connecting them to the sewer
system will improve water quality in the aquifer and nearby surface waters,and prevent future
contamination. Miami-Dade County estimates that the SEP will cost two million forty seven
thousand two hundred dollars ($2,047,200.00), and commits to spend at least this amount to
complete the SEP.No part of this SEP expenditure shall include federal or state funds, including
federal or state low interest loans, contracts, or grants.
SEP Overview:
Miami-Dade has indentified an area in the County which is zoned business,commercial,
and industrial, from light to heavy manufacturing where there currently is no access to sewers,
and where septic systems are inadequate or failing and many businesses pre-date the current
septic system regulations. The area is bounded on the West by Northwest 37th Ave,on the North
by State Road 112,on the East by Northwest 27th Ave,and on the South by North River Drive,
which is parallel to the Miami River. The Melrose Neighborhood Revitalization Strategy Area is
within these boundaries. The area is a low-income and high-poverty area. The attached map
shows the project area,the sewer lines that are proposed to serve the area, and the higher risk
(County permitted)businesses that will gain access to sewers as a result of this project.

Case 1:12-cv-24400-FAM Document 25-10 Entered on FLSD Docket 06/06/2013 Page 2 of 5
The SEP shall include the installation of at least seven thousand six hundred and sixty
(7,660) linear feet of Gravity Sewer Mains within the area described above. The installation will
also include public laterals up to the property line. Pursuant to existing regulations,businesses
will have ninety(90) days to abandon their septic systems and connect to the public laterals.
The priority of the connections will be based on proximity to the existing Gravity Sewer
Mains. As the Gravity Sewer Mains which will be constructed through this SEP are being
constructed as extensions from existing Gravity Sewer Mains,the businesses that are located
closer to the existing Gravity Sewer Mains will be able to connect first, as the extended Gravity
Sewer Mains near them are completed. The sequencing of construction will be determined as
part of the design process based upon field conditions and construction efficiency. However,
within those constraints, highest priority will be assigned to the western-most system which will
serve the largest number of facilities which predate, and do not meet, current septic tank
regulations,thence moving progressively to the eastern systems. It is estimated that the Gravity
Sewer Mains will service a minimum of seventy-four(74) existing businesses. Miami-Dade
estimates that an estimated flow of seventeen thousand six hundred(17,600)gallons per day of
wastewater will be removed from the existing septic tanks and will be treated at one of Miami-
Dade's WWTPs instead.
Once Miami-Dade constructs the Gravity Sewer Mains,Miami-Dade will use existing
authority to ensure that all developed lots in the affected area are connected to the new sewer
extensions pursuant to sections 32-79, 32-80,and 24-43.1 (7)of the Code of Miami-Dade
County.

SEP Budget
Miami-Dade estimates that it will cost two million forty seven thousand two hundred
dollars ($2,047,200)to construct the proposed Gravity Sewer Mains. This amount includes the
installation of gravity sewer lines and public laterals up to the property line, including project
planning,design,permitting,procurement, construction cost, and construction management. The
amount does not include the cost of installation of private laterals on the businesses' properties
or the one-time connection fee, both of which are the private businesses' responsibility.Nor does
it include the business' cost of abandoning the septic systems. Businesses which qualify for an
exemption from water and sewer connection charges will be eligible to apply for a refund of
connection charge. The exemption is available for commercial or industrial businesses which are
located in a designated enterprise zone such as the targeted area, and which have a minimum of
twenty-five percent(25%) of their employees residing in the enterprise zone, which has been
identified as an environmental justice area. SEP funds shall not be used to pay connection charge
refunds.
